Especially if he happens to be riding a bicycle :sweating:

Although he had a wheel chock when he started it this time, how does he start it if he is the only person there? As soon as he lets go of the pull start handle this thing is going to roll down the street.

Did anyone see any brakes on that thing?

Could be why less than 40 of them were ever built and sold

It's brilliant. I want one of these little Car plane things.

Of course a prop driven land vehicle will never be as efficient as one with driven wheels, but it sure gains more attention.

Has anybody put an airboat on wheels?
