Introducing Micro Cars
Tiny little cars you may never have heard of
We spent an afternoon at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville recently. What a delightful, esoteric collection. Below find links to the micro car collection. They capture the spirit and passion of the automakers in unique--I might add--hilarious configurations. But, hey, if we didn't have dreamers, where would we be? Sitting in the dark, eating with our fingers and walking barefoot down a dirt road, I suspect. Have fun. In this dreary, threatening world we live in, a little levity can't but help.
