Ha ha...you're hilarious. I want to take a picture of Montreal new police toy, but I'm afraid I'll get lock up.

Of course now, I'm wondering what they're using it for. Whatever, I hope we see more cars like this little GEM all over the world.

They use it in the penal colony on the tiny Gorgona island, where normal cars aren't allowed.

We are seeing more and more of these.

Good chance to get well acquainted between the two parties.

Lowell said...

If the prisoners were really small, they could lock them up in that rear compartment.

Maybe it's got a turbo under the hood to better catch escapees.

Wait a minute, there's no hood!

Cute, though.

How about to make an international blog? I mean to have more admins, and the postings following some criteria.

Nancy said...

Adore your sense of humor!

Yes, we American's have really screwed up with the whole SUV thing. I'm appalled by them.

I'll never forget when I was in Cannes, France with my now husband, seeing a Hummer with US plates! I was embarrassed.

Best,

Nancy

A captivating experience, although in a well ventilated fashion!

Layrayski said...

=) at least its well ventilated.

Tash said...

Why is everyone LOLing? I don't get what's funny. ;)
I don't think I've seen this eco-car before. I keep thinking that it would be nice to have a smart car for local hops to the market or library, but I'd be afraid of getting squashed by the SUVs.

No lack of fresh air in this vehicle!

Tall Gary said...

Yes, I, too, “laughed out loud.” Great sense of humor.
