cko ◊ 2011-08-24 01:14	Why is it illegal? Not sturdy enough?

carcrasher88 ◊ 2011-08-24 04:05	No problem. I'm usually looking up obscure vehicles on the net. I came across this on Wikipedia one about a month or so ago, before I even saw this page on this site. I'm surprised they didn't get imported to the US. They might have faced a better fate here.
