Helpful Posts: ...but, I'm old enough to know better.
I spotted this interesting vehicle as I was filling up at a service station and shot it with my iPhone.
This would be fun to drive but, for a guy who doesn't do too well in the sun anymore - it wouldn't be a smart means of transportation
The iPhone 6S+ produced a pretty nice image. Perhaps that results from using ISO 25...
I wonder if this is considered a motorcycle or an auto. Probably, a motorcycle, and the carriers behind driver and passenger would be for the mandatory helmets

Looks like an old Morgan three wheeler (see here) but on steroids. The Morgan had the same wheel configuration and in the UK at least, is considered to be a car. Nice quality from the iPhone BTW.

Re: I'm young enough to want it...
The day was somewhat overcast which made the dynamic range of the image smaller than it would be on a typically bright and sunny day here in Southern California.
This thing kind of looked like it came out of a BATMAN movie... The owner and his partner (probably his spouse) were late middle age. I guess that it takes a while before one can afford a toy like this

Re: I'm young enough to want it...
Hey Richard, I read the title of your thread and the first line, and the excitement rose! I was expecting something racy but not a vehicle
But it's one cool vehicle

Re: I'm young enough to want it...
single wheel at the front it's a Trike, at the back it's a car in my never humble opinion

Re: I'm young enough to want it...
And to think that we wanted to join the motorcycle club and buy one of those tricycles but the single wheel is at the front...don' t worry it is just a friggin' dream...
