    Default 3 Wheel Carver

    Okay, I know this isn't a dual sport brute but c'mon, you've probably never had this much fun with your clothes on! This little machine is awesome. I want one...I'm telling my wife that it's cheaper than the F-14 Tomcat I've been lusting after

    I remember seeing Top Gear do a review on the Carver, it was pretty cool. I don't think they are DOT approved for the US though. I will see if I can dig up the video and post it up.

    Looks like fun alright, it would take some getting used to, the way it leans. BUT..........$45,000, ouch, plus more $$'s for some of the avaliable options. I don't know, the Mrs. would get up tight over here I know that for sure. Oh well......Dreamers never die, just the dreams, so they say.

    It's interesting......and good looking. But with only 40 MPG I don't see the point. Now if it was getting 80mpg+ it would be even more interesting! I would never drive something like that here in SO. CA. though.....you would just get run over by all the cell phone packin' soccer mom's in their massive SUV's........! Then they would scream at me while being hauled off in the stretcher that it was my fault!

    X2...

    I also remember seeing it on car and driver or something along those lines. Looks like fun, and nothing like some great gas milage and being covered from the elements.... I wonder if you could hook a trailer up to it?

    I found the video where Richard Hammond of Top Gear takes the Carver for a spin. Here it is.

    Yup, very cool...too much $$ though. You can get a lot of rig for 30K Euro! Heck, that's a BMW GS Adventure and a Prius!
