Yeah. From having a look at your stuff, it all looks very good, my guy.

Huh. Interesting.
Yeah, throughout reading your writings, I myself was mostly thinking of like a gas-powered version of the otherwise all-electric Danish Ellert. Which, I believe, was a complete flop. Though I don't remember fully. Not old enough to have lived those times. In fact, *all* my cars are older than me... Scary thought.
Though, I've been making a car from 20010-ish, to Geep's joy. So at least that'll be a thing.

the king midget managed to live for a long while before safety concerns and stuff, and that thing i think was just a kit you tossed some engine in

I mean, if they could've marketed them good enough, perhaps. Like, problem with the Hybrid is, that the engines they have simply aren't powerful enough. So it'd probably be a really heckin' small car, or a really heckin' underpowered car. Which I'm not sure how popular that would've been at the time. But who knows. I'm not a historian. And I especially don't have any knowledge of American lawn mower companies. Like most if not all of my Workshop descriptions, I mostly copy-paste them from whatever website I can find, and agree with. So I myself was first introduced to Briggs & Stratton when Jay Leno explained in the linked YouTube video.

very interesting idea, i wonder if briggs and stratton could have gotten into making mini cars or something if they tried
