"Does new subcompact factory in Detroit mean reurgence of micro cars?" Not for me it doesn't.

Obama made GM build this thing. Yes they will sell. With his cap and trade carbon tax gas will be te10 to 15 dollars a gallon. You sure  as hell won't be able to drive that full sized pick up any more.
  He is completely destroying this country. we will all be living like his brother.

That is exactly the point of the whole thing.  We are to be punished for living too high and taking advantage of the rest of the world.  We're really bad people and we now have to make amends with self flagellation.  I know all of those who voted for the Kenyan and his cohorts in Congress will be driving the little tiddlers--right?

BMW's Isetta 600 had two doors. One of them being like the original up front the other was on o n e side for the rear bench.

Some of you guys might find this interesting.  I really liked the Messerschmitt, always thought they were interesting.  I also had a Fiat 500, think it was a 1956 model.  I think I gave $15.00 for it in 1966.  They don't have one like it in the museum.  One of my brothers rolled it off a hill, then they stripped it for parts to use on a Dune Buggy.

I owned a Berkley in 1968, here is a picture of one.  I called it my little Cobra, because it had lines like a Cobra which was very popular on TV shows back then.  Illia Kerriackian drove a Cobra on The Man From UNCLE.

It was a beautiful little car, and I loved driving it.  My Folks hated it because it was so small.  While I was in basic training Mom gave it away.  She told a fellow he could have it if he would haul it away.  She refused to tell me who she gave it to.  I kept the title for years hoping to someday find it.  But gave that up finally.

Mom or not, if mine would have done that she be sold on a white slave market.

She is too mean for that.  She would have the slavers running for cover in ten minutes.  She was a mean woman then, she is a meaner old woman now.  That's why I live in Alaska, she lives in Tennessee.  She is afraid to fly and it's too far to drive.
