Most Cost Effective Vehicle Ever

In a local Shanghai suburb, one man has created what has to be one of the most cost effective automobiles ever.

The car has a very simple design, basically a bunch of wood scraps tied together with wire, four wheels, and a seat that can barely fit one person.

An open frame allows for a nice breeze, so an air conditioner is not required, and it even has a headlight.

No word on the gas mileage this things gets, but all in all the vehicle is pretty impressive.

    Bet he never has to worry about car thieves, either. Can’t wait to see the ’09 models.

    Worryingly, it actually does meet every relevant Chinese standard.

    I think the inventor also makes milk powder and children’s toys.

    Arrogant Yankee Doodle, stole a European idea, polished it up for 300 years and now acts like he invented it! He even claims one of his own, Henry Ford as its father – this is propaganda, and unfounded lie! Ever hear of the true genius, Dailmler, Gotlieb Dailmler? and those noble Europeans, usually Austrians that went even before him? Arrogant pup, Yankee Doodle – lives many lies, this is just one! Right, Werner Von Braun? Tesla?

    Am I the only one thinking of Hong Kong Phooey?
    ""Hong Kong Phooey, number one super guy.
    Hong Kong Phooey, quicker than the human eye.
    He's got style, a groovy style,
    and a car that just won't stop."
