“Don’t store anything valuable in it” honestly, crooks may just throw free stuff in there out of pity.

Why are all weird cars from the oil crisis era yellow, plastic and designed by Walt Disney's animation team?

When you want to inflate your resume "Yeah, I built over 700 freeways."

"A silly little micro car with 3 wheels and no hope." I love this guy!!!!

“Cars” like this are why I really don’t consider The Trabant to be that bad.

When a "car" fails to be as reliable, well engineered, and as powerful as a Trabant.

6:50 I love how the other guy is just casually walking after you at almost the same speed as the 'car'.

First, I think it very smart that the car is Yield Sign Yellow. Second, I would think the electric version would be much quieter, which is comforting when you are about to die.

Doug DeMuro: "I review the weirdest cars in existence!" Aging Wheels: "Challenge accepted."

When a car makes you long for the sophistication and comfort of a Trabant that's saying something;)

My college buddy bought one of these, and even belonged to club of fellow owners, who helped each other keep them running. He lived in suburban Chicago, and used his for fun in the warmer months. He did tell me they were pretty terrible, and horrible in any kind of snow and ice. He said they all had fun with them, but knew they were short lived.

"Every person I see is staring at me because I'm driving bright yellow suppository with a lawn mower engine." You have got yourself a new subscriber sir!

"she'll go 300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene"

Did the 16hp version come with a hitch?

I can imagine the designer marveling at his sleek futuristic car on the drawing board.

"This is so unsafe, let's give it more gas." I have an off road go-kart that has better performance and safety.

The shag carpet WAS the sound absorption material, and now that it's gone, what do you expect?

"The whole Go-Pro is vibrating, sorry about that" well you did a good job advertising for Go-Pro cause it clearly does an amazing job canceling out the vibrations!

My neighbor had one of those. He said to me, "I wish I hadn't bought that darn car." The same neighbor rolled his on a cloverleaf and told me if I ever bought one to be careful with it's instability.

I love that the owner started walking after you as soon as you started because he knew you'd kill the engine. Also you reused the "leaving" shot for "returning", so I assume it died again

The more excited he gets, the more he sounds like Kermit the Frog.

Wow, it's like someone saw a Robin Reliant and said "I wonder if I could do worse" and then somehow succeeded beyond all their hopes and dreams.

Aging Wheels: “I don’t want one of these” Me: I want one of these

6:44 -- you know that it's a ridiculous vehicle when even its owner stares at it with bemused concern as it trundles down the street.

10:28 "I'm doing thirty now and it feels very unstable." - same quote as a guy who drove a car in 1911

"Don't pull out in front of me" is something I say out of irritation, you said it out of pure terror 😂

You know it's sketchy if he's laughing and coughing at the same time from pure, primal terror.

I purchased, well ordered, one of these during the gas crisis. A fellow college teacher had one, and since it was parked in the college lot all day, he put a small Tupperware sandwich box on the roof full of his 'business cards' that listed him as a dealer of sorts for Freeway; the cards invited interested people to call him, and he would either meet them at the college or drive to their homes, and let them take a spin. I don't recall which engine he had in his, but the one I ordered had the largest gas engine size. When I test drove his, it handled fairly well, and I had no trouble getting it up to 55 mph on the local county highway. I don't recall having trouble keeping it going straight, or having trouble getting it up to speed. Perhaps the car in this video is worm out, or improperly maintained/adjusted or something. But I never did take possession of my Freeway. I had ordered it with the optional electric reverse, which I recall was just a small electric motor, connected to the same battery as the engine's starter motor, with some kind of mechanism to roll the car backwards....it was only supposed to be used for a few feet, to back out of parking spaces. But they told me that I might have to wait for a month or two while they worked out the bugs in the reverse mechanism. That time came and went, and when I tried to finally cancel my order due to the delays, I learned that they had filed for bankruptcy or something, and all down payments for undelivered cars were now voided, so I lost my money....I recall it was perhaps $500 or something like that. I had contacted the Illinois drivers license office, and they told me that these were considered to be cars, and that I would not need to get a motorcycle license to drive it. I vaguely recall that the one I test drove had a seat belt; maybe they were only installed in cars sold in states that required them, or in states that classified them as cars. I recalled asking the manufacturer if they had tested these in (simulated) accidents at highway speeds. They said no, but an early customer had run his into a bridge abutment while going faster than 50 mph, and "survived", whatever that means....he might have been near death or been dismembered or turned into a vegetable, but he "survived". I only went ahead and ordered mine for the short commute of fairly empty country highways I had to make every day. I had no plans to use it for anything longer, faster, or in any kind of inclement weather. Even if I had received the one I ordered, the gas crisis was over soon, and I probably would not have continued to drive it for very long. I went back to driving my Jeep CJ and my Gremlin.

It isn't a Peel P50, but it is just about as hilarious!

My lawn mower has that exact same engine, I recognize the starter sound lol.

"I'm just about to lose my voice!" Says a man that's already lost control of his bowels driving this thing.

"Driving down the road in a bright yellow suppository with a lawnmower engine." Brilliant!

That emergency brake is from a forklift 😂 lol

"I'm diving down the road in a bright yellow suppository with a lawnmower engine"

Had a 16 hp version back in the early to mid 1980s. They advertised it as highway capable so I bought one for commuting to work . Actually drove it on expressways. I was young and stupid believing all the brochure bullshit. The vehicle was dangerous at speeds above 40mph. I actually got it up to 60 -65 on a smooth straight stretch of Express way and lived. Sold it after putting 7000 miles on it mostly in congested rush hour traffic. The vehicle not practical and was poorly engineered. Trailer brakes in front with stamped out wavy surface drums and non centering shoes for erratic pulsating stops. Rear end assembly with wheel engine & CVT isolated from rear of vehicle with RUBBER. The vehicle would wander and follow irregularities in the road surface

“I didn’t have the fuel pump on.” A trouble known to vintage Land Rover owners. Although in that case, it is that the switch was in the position for fuel pump 1 which burned out in 1986. Fortunately, British Leyland new this would happen, so installed 2.

>Made in Minnesota > Has almost non-existent heater wat

"Mommy, this car-weirdo neughbor is driving around in a fancy lawn mower again!"

6:38 Heyyy, there's the CitiCar!

This makes me feel soooo much better about my Geo Metro..... that also gets 50 MPG.

I kept thinking “I wonder who uploaded this for him after he died in that thing.”

Doug Demuro showed us this guy last year with the trabant. This has been my favorite channel ever since.

The starter motor sounds more reassuring than the engine. You sir, are a brave man.

That drive looked incredibly fun!! From the back it looks pretty sweet, but I can't believe that thing was allowed on the road even for the late 70's early 80's.

A tiny electric cheese wedge and a bright yellow suppository with a lawn mower engine - all in one week! What did we do to deserve these gifts?

The first guy with a “car” in school

Considering its 40 yrs old, the fact that it runs at all is kinda impressive.

Watching him attempt to negotiate actual roads in that thing was enough stress for today.

"A silly little microcar with three wheels, and no hope." Why must you always say these things right as I'm taking a drink of coffee?

i love how far back the pickup is, like hes expecting you to disintegrate in front of him

I absolutely love when he calls small cars “suppositories”

I seriously considered building one of the three wheel vehicles that was (I think) featured in a popular mechanics like publication at the time. It was called the Tri-muter if I recall correctly. I might still have the plans out in storage. With more recent improvements in electric technology, it might be fun to consider ... at least in concept :-)

“Ok now this is getting silly” You know it’s bad when he says it

13:00 I see the cheese wedge in the distance there.

I grew up in Minneapolis -- I remember when this car came out. I think I saw someone promoting it in the old Brookdale Mall. I have not seen one in 40 years.

Thanks for the hilarious video. In the 60'-70's in the UK we had the fibreglass Reliant Robin if you could'nt afford a car...but it was very capable especially on fuel and you could jump straight into it on a motorcycle licence. Being one wheel forward/two wheels back it could be very hairy on quick bends!

gotta give some credit to the owners for keeping these deathtraps running against all odds

Wants to be efficient, uses terribly inefficient lawn mower engine.

Bright yellow suppository with a lawn mower engine...what a description! I love it!

wow... the Trabant seems like a good car, suddenly :D

I saw this in the background of the CitiCar video and am so glad you're covering this majestic beast of a vehicle

When you hit 30 miles an hour in this thing, I expected the nose to start glowing red like a space shuttle on reentry. 🤣

tbh that was a pretty looking thing, and that shot of it pulling away was pretty dope

Thank you for risking your life for our amusement. Really good!!

Why does it look like you're doing 180 mph?

This reminds me of driving my first go kart no brakes, lawnmower tires up front, chain keeps hopping , randomly dies, absolutely terrifying, fun af

I hope you keep finding bizarre shit like this, because I love these videos. I go on rewatch sprees every couple months cause they are just so unique and awful

Having 2 wheels on the front is more stable than having one wheel at the front and 2 at the back, see the Reliant Robin!

Oh man! I laughed so hard at your potentially mortal peril. Great vid Robert. Keep them coming.

You don't know how much joy you bring me with these silly little cars!

It reminds me of the Bond 3 wheeler that we had in the UK. I used to think that was the worst car I had ever seen - until I watched you drive the Freeway! Thanks for an amusing video.

My neighbor always say's 'hope you make it back' when I go out in the bug. I would love to see his face rolling this out the driveway!

That's an interesting hobby that guy has: Owning the worst cars ever made.

Okay. I’ve been working my way through the catalog, and this video really stands out. Not only is this the first time I was genuinely concerned for his safety? This is also the first time I’ve EVER seen him survive a clown car/medieval torture device and NOT immediately express a deep desire to own it.

That car is the coolest looking thing and you were having so much fun driving it. Thanks for sharing. 😀

Why didnt they call it a threeway Oh i see

Now imagine if that was rebuilt in 2019 and just had a motorcycle engine instead of a lawn mower engine

"This whole thing was build from the ground up by HM vehicles who have never made a car before" Now it all makes sense.

I really love your videos. I find myself binging them a lot especially the weird electric or super tiny vehicles. I really like the pacing and shot style in the videos, reminds me of Public Access TV from when I was younger I mean that as a compliment!

This video made me laugh, more than once. I can so relate as I happen to own a bright orange HMV ,

I really enjoyed watching you work on your Trabant, but holy crap, these "car" reviews are the best thing ever. I'm glad you are back to putting out videos.

This thing looks like a "car of the future" you'd see at a family owned amusement park's kiddie ride section.

6:36 THE CHEESE WEDGE!

The HM-Vehicles Freeway. For when you're in the middle of a fuel crisis but would literally rather die than buy an import.

that guy has a hell of a collection by having just citicar and freeway. thanks to him for letting you test these

A car... and I use that term loosely... that could be flattened by the "shockwave" from a truck passing it....

If only Jeremy Clarkson would review it. He slagged the Reliant Robin, but that is a Mercedes compared to a "Freeway."

"Hand-built quality"

Your like the Doug Demuro of death traps nobody has ever heard of, and for good reason

6:22 "The whole GoPro is vibrating. The whole car is vibrating" _The whole room is vibrating!_

just discovered your channel a few days ago... but boy... you have way to much fun in those :)))

That really did make me laugh . The owner is clearly one of the world's great eccentrics and i think you're denying your desire for a plastic lawnmower powered monstrosity. Brilliant!

Initially I though you re-posted the same video :D

Just found this channel ...freaking love it . Great stuff .subbed after the first minute

Haha, when he started that car it sounded exactly like my old sears ST12 lawn tractor, probably the same Tecumseh engine.

Just when I foolishly assumed that your 'bottom feeding' automotive interests couldn't sink any lower than the (good grief) Trabant, or the (shudder) Wheego you have come through for your loyal fans yet again. Well done Robert!

Back in the 70's security wasn't such a big issue as it is today.

I hate cars, but your channel makes me love the history of excentric vehicles. No excessive technical babble and a real explanation of the culture which built these. In this viseo, I did miss of there were multiple gears and if the transmission is manual or automatic, maybe I was not listening. But great job!

Hello. I owned a freeway flyer in 2000, I paid 1500 bucks for the thing. Got it running and discovered that I needed to rebuild the torque converter drive system and also the rear swing arm. I bought it for my girlfriend to drive to work at Kennedy space center as cheap way to work. It was a hit as far as appearance. She was getting 90mpg on the drives but was very slow, and scary at high speeds. I had it up to 63 mph but was very lose in 😢he steering at that speed. The girlfriend ended up rolling it in front of the vehicle assembly building at the cape. I sold it after that. But still doubled my money on the sale.
