This electric 3-wheeled one-person Myers Motors NmG roots from the 1999-2002 Corbin Sparrow body design. This car has been driving around where I live for a while now and I finally got a good video of it this time. I seriously thought it was going to blow over this day because it was outrageously windy up in the hills. |
