Many people are all of the above.

Wait, what? That’s not really Spider-Man?

Old Orchard Beach, Maine, c. 05/02/1922:

Image

Captioned: "Something new in Auto tops. George R. Wharff of Old Orchard Beach, Maine, and Joseph Fossard returning from Florida. When they lost their top, they thatched it with palm leaves which seem to answer every purpose. Gyp, their companion on the trip, has traveled 10,000 miles on the front fender as shown in the picture, 5/2/22."

You can always find one of these in an outlaw car show in philly. Every Friday night a group of 5-700 people show up and block off a few blocks. They do burnouts for half an hour waiting for philly’s cops to show. Then it is a free for all. A cop will not think twice about slamming into the sidr of your $80,000 ride ad you try to flee.

When you see some videos from these events. ( Philadelphia's illegal racing) You'll find some where a person gets thrown from the car or tossed from the roof. Right when the car gets traction. It will twist causing the door to open or lung one way tossing somebody off the roof. That's the person the cops get.

They’re doing that in Baltimore too. Amazes me the cops can’t clamp down on this.

They probably don’t want the liability that could potentially come from confrontation. Cops aren’t going to go after petty crime in risk of losing there jobs.

In the 2012 Movie, The Lorax, the cars in the movie are based on real cars, and a real one-wheeled motorcycle.

Maybe this was the speaker car?
