Wouldn’t mind having one of these. Of course, you wouldn’t dare drive it on Texas roads. (‘Your truck havin’ suspension problems, Steve? Thought I felt a bump there.’) But for a girly-man state like Massachusetts, it ought to be just the thing.

Why/when would you ‘fold’ it? Are you behind the wheel when it ‘folds’, or do you exit first?
I’m still puzzling over the usefulness… But it is cute.
Problem is, it’s small enough to be picked up and carried away. And there are some boys in Detroit who would be happy to demonstrate the process.
