If this does not fit in this section, please move if need be.

I just thought it was a pretty wild idea!

Hmmm, a combination of my two favorite mechanical things... radial engine planes and Microcars! Now, I'd like to see an Allison-powered Messerschmitt KR-200... that's be a feat! Thanks Jesse!

I'll demonstrate my advanced age and reminise about my High School days when the hot tip was to get a GOGOMOBILE, LLOYD, or NASH METROPOLITAN and stuff a (then pretty new and spendy) 327 Chev in it along with a straight tube axle and 2 fours or tri power and go C or D GAS drag racing-on 9 inch wide 'pie crust' M&H slicks and a Powerglide :roll:
