    Probably much less easily than a truck built like that.... smart car is tiny, and already has a low center of gravity, which in waaaay lower that the car, on that setup.

    it's funny you say that. Here in Adelaide an idiot posted on Youtube some video of his brand new superhot $100 000 car doing 245ks (well over 140mph) in an 80k (50mph) zone. Apparently it had split screen footage of the car (showing the number plate) with video of the speedometer.

    Unsurprisingly he is now walking everywhere and the police have his car impounded.

    Seriously, how stupid do you have to be to drive that fast on a public road AND post confirmatory evidence on a website with 87 gajillion daily visitors???

    Torque, drop car, re-torque, test drive, re-torque, profit in the form of not having your fucking wheels fall off.

    Model A. Wire and duct tape is all you need to keep those things going. Uncle had one just about like that one. Long time since you could hand crank a car. (see the crank hole in front?)

    I can remember riding in the back of my father's Ford Model B dump truck.
    Something like this one.
