I agree, for it's time the Model T was a serious invention, unlike the Atomic Car which might be best described as "dumbing down" of a average car. But, I don't agree it is a toy. For someone working two less than minimum wage jobs supporting a husband and three kids, the Atomic car is a very viable option from a cost performance perspective. Might be a toy for you and me.
Agree on dreams...

Sorry, but YOU brought up the Atomic Car in post #35...
I only used it in response to YOUR post...
It's top speed is only 20 mph, so it's useless in many settings.
And you really think you can fit a family of 5 in an Atomic car?
Have you ever been in one? One fart and you'll blow out the windows!
