Thanks to Tom for bringing this one to my attention. Today's Question Everything might be: "Will these upholstered 'roller skates' put the rides at the amusement parks out of business?" And as I asked Tom rhetorically and facetiously: "Can I get one with whitewall tires, a Continental Kit, and dingle balls around the windows?"
That got me thinking back to those kits that added a fake front onto Volkswagen beetles to make them look like either a 1930s Ford, or a Rolls Royce. If these almost cars catch on, maybe we can dress them up too.
I've seen something saying these might be ideal for old people who no longer can drive their own cars, but that of course depends on the price, and the availability of the equipment for recharging them. The vast majority of old folks probably can't afford it. And very few retirement homes have either the parking or the facilities for these. And they'll have a hell of a time convincing owners of expensive luxury cars to switch to one of these. These are the very opposite of a status symbol, let's face it.
