        Those rear tires look like they came right off a bicycle... that is tiny.

        Some journalist told me about this site. Now I own three cars.

          @taylor-martin Tiny, yes, awesome, also yes! Check out Mathisox's custom Ape sometime! I've linked the video here before, but it's awesome enough to watch again (the stop-motion one, at least!)

              How wonderfully non-American. I love that there is / was a culture that was compliant toward something like this being created.

                @onlytwowheels I do love those little Mazdas! That T2000 is huge too! Never saw one that long before! 0_o

                I think the largest Ape that I know of was the TM, which is the one I'd like sometime, and they aren't exactly huge either...

                  @flatisflat The world is full of hard working 3 wheeled trucks. I'm sure they are very capable machines and well suited for the job. Somehow, the work trike never really made much of an impact in the states.

                      @onlytwowheels Indeed! I guess I find something a lil' extra special about how conservatively 'chic' that Mazda feels to be vs. strictly utilitarian.

                          Why is that three wheeler so chonky? It looks like some hit it with a growth ray or something. Or maybe it just got very excited. . .

                                          @onlytwowheels I know Mustie1 on Youtube did a series awhile back where he modified a little meter maid trike (I don't know if it was a Cushman or not...? His was like a late '80s or early '90s one) into something to carry his custom motorized bicycles πŸ™‚

                                          It was a Cushman apparently!
