Do you know what my f150 would do to that thing? :shock:

It would make it extinct within 5 years... along with all life on Earth?
 
I bet you $20 that if you hit a wombat in that, it'd **** the car.

I bet if you crashed that car in Australia, it'd **** Australia. I'm just about to buy one and they rock! Here's a bit of one review:

So how does this work in practice? The (FIAT Panda) Cross has lots of traction, it's small, light and nimble like its petrol brother, which results in it being more capable than you might imagine, and also quite a lot of fun. On the off-road route across the top of North Wales, which was mostly gravel and rocks, with a few large holes and ditches where the road had been washed away, the Panda had no problems whatsoever. Muddy forest tracks again posed no serious challenge, and it even made it across newly-ploughed fields

The 20mm cannon is an optional extra.
 
Damn, I make that mistake with everyone, isn't anyone a prepubescent boy troll anymore?

I'm the mother to a prepubescent boy troll. ;) :lol:

Okay, okay... sorry for the deviation off topic.. I'll be good now.
 
Those would probably be great in cities where the price of a home can get above a couple hundred thousand dollars. But in a lot of areas of the country you can buy a real home for the price of one of these tiny homes(even the price of a tiny home if you built it yourself)

Houses

The issue isn't just building an economical house, but also building one whose energy requirements are sustainable. Sure, you can probably afford to build a 3,000 square foot house in podunk Iowa, but the energy demands of that house are going to be considerable.

I can't imagine a house the size of a lot of people's bathrooms would actually demand that much energy. You would probably only need one bulb to light to the whole place and a incandescent light bulb to heat the place up. The energy costs would come from the appliances like a tv,oven/stove,and or computer regardless of what you built a home that small with.

How much do you think electric and gas bill are?
