Charles Samuel Greenwood will forever be remembered as the engineer who created the Flintstones car. With four people cranking, this ridiculous looking electric vehicle can travel up to 20 MPH. Of course you can also go this fast (faster) in a go cart, heck you go this fast coasting a golf cart down a hill, but you can do both of these things much less then it would cost you do it in this odd contraption. Greenwood’s car will cost you about $15,500 and you’ll have to find three other people who want to crank along side of you… at almost 20 MPH. Hard to believe he’s been working on this since the 1960′s. Link.NC
Editors Note: I really struggled with putting this in the motorsports category, but then I remember we’d just added humor… I think it balances itself out in the end…
