My New Car

May 20th, 2009 4 comments

I’ve been thinking about purchasing a new vehicle to replace my Honda S2000.  I’m looking for something along the lines of a sporty two-seater, preferably convertible, with unique lines and great gas milage.  You know, a real head-turner.  

…and I think I just found it.  Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my brand spankin’ new ride, the ZAP! Xebra:

I spotted this dead-sexy beast last week, and instantly fell in love.  This baby peaks out at 42 MPH, grinds to a crawl on any hill above a 20% grade, is so pimp it only needs three wheels, comes fully equipped with an AM/FM cassette radio, and is made in China.  Going price?  A mere $12,000.  Chump change.

Did I mention that this vehicle is classified as a motorcycle, thus avoiding any crash safety test requirements?  I’m curious how well this thing corners in the twisties…
