Well, "tiny" in terms of American conventions, at least. And I believe there are some slight design changes between the Aveo and the Sonic, as the Aveo was a brand here for a few years as well.

You know... slap a reverse gear on that thing and it wouldn't be half-bad for me.

We have those in the States too... only they have no roof, bigger wheels, and they're classed as motorcycles.

Also I think they would no safer than that aluminum box on wheels either.

We have similar. Piaggio/Gilera/Yamaha/Peugeot all make them.

So you're asking if there's anything the man from the motoring show doesn't drive? No much, no.

The P45 was a joke car. It was "designed" by Clarkson. It is petrol powered and road legal. It had a top speed of 30mph and even had a reverse gear! It could also be converted to electric operation.

As do we. My mother has two. Not really a road legal car though.

My last car was an Aveo. I sold it to Nick when I moved to the city and he wrecked it. Brat. :P

WTF are you talking about? When I said this:

it was obviously in response to the cited question from Nutso about Mets centerfielder Yoenis Cespedes, who has quite a motoring hobby.

Stairs were icy this morning, so my mother slipped and fell. Went to the hospital, but no broken bones or head injuries, thank God.

Well that sucks, but I'm glad to hear it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been.
