I highly recommend everyone to drive at least once a Deux Cheveaux. It's an experience! No roll bars, and once you've successfully negotiated the dosage of accelerator and bouncing of the car, it stabilizes into a fun drive. They used to have contests to see who could overturn one. It has no torsion bars! It's practically impossible, save for running it down a hill at top speed and doing the sharpest turn you can manage... and even then, it was a very difficult matter. The car is hailed as running forever as long as you have a screwdriver, pliers and ropes. In fact is was clipped together! There was even a Doctor who manage to fit an engine on the back of one making it a 4x4.

It's sad and normal to see how cars have changed. While security has improved, I welcome better brakes and better tires. I'm not crazy about the added weight, muffled feel and lack of feedback that have made cars a convenience that remove you from the fact you are driving a multi-ton iron on wheels contraption. What ever happened to the original Civic that got close to 54mpg compared to the new hybrid that does less?

Maybe I'm just getting older :)
