I've seen it. It's kinda wierd, but who said different things are bad. With some engineering, it might be something good.

I hope I dont live long enough to see that **** on the streets. I dont like the 6 inch diameter rim. Though I must say technology is increasing everyday and all the time. But dont you think it goes over board sometimes? I guess it just has to be around a while in order for us to get used to new things. Its like we are some sort of pets getting used to new items, haha...
