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

at one time everyone thought the car itself was strange... now look at us... who knows our kids or grand kids could be out sporting them on their rides...

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...
