Baldi Frog- The Cutest Car

I came across this cutie on Popular Mechanics and was happy I did. Now, if you are like me, you squeal every time you come across a baby animal; puppies, kittens, bunnies, and so on. I never thought I would say this, but I found a cute “frog,” and I want one, and I do not mean a tadpole. I mean a Baldi Frog.

The Baldi Frog is Italy’s answer to traffic and congestion. The tiny car weighs less than one thousand pounds which means there are no bells and whistles with this little guy. You can expect fiberglass body panels and a canvas sunroof. The doors have no inner panels, so the windows slide back and forth instead of the up and down movement we are used to. The vehicle’s dashboard only contains a single gauge – a speedometer – and a few unlabeled lights. One of the lights lets you know when you are running low on fuel, but you better remember which one. The key goes in the dash, but the starter is a nondescript lever on the floor next to the shifter. Trust me when I say you better read the owner's manual to study and remember what each light represents. Would hate to go on a short road trip and run out of gas. Also, the vehicle contains many Fiat mechanical components, crammed into as small a space as possible.

The miniature car is driven by a 595 cc two-cylinder air-cooled Fiat engine. This is the high-performance "Rally" version of the Frog, and only 300 were produced between 1973 and 1975. It was available with smaller engines as well, but this setup can get the car to a scorching 60 MPH. There are only three 1975 examples in the U.S. One proud owner, Mark Lieberman, took a lucky passenger for a ride. But keep in mind, this little cutie can only provide room for two people, it has no room for a back seat, but plenty of room for two grown men.

I Think He Forgot Something

I Think He Forgot Something So this is funny. But according to nwitimes.com , a 33-year-old suspect made his getaway after robbing a convenience store but didn't get far. The guy had robbed a LaCrosse gas station after he informed the store clerk he had a gun. The suspect, Sean Harris, made off with food, beverage items, and cigarettes… but no money! I guess the guy was super hungry since the report stated he had a blood alcohol level higher than the limit for legally operating a motor vehicle. Harris fled the gas station, with whatever he could carry, when an Indiana State Police trooper came upon the getaway car. Not in some crazy high-speed chase, or from using some awesome spy satellite that Vin Diesel uses in all his action films. NOPE! Harris’ vehicle ran out of gas. That’s right, he forgot to steal some fuel before making off with his goodies. The Indiana State Police trooper found his vehicle stopped along a two-lane highway. Harris is being held in jail without bail.

Looking for a Pre-Owned Pickup Truck?

Looking for a Pre-Owned Pickup Truck? Pickup trucks are both functional and fun to drive. Many people choose to own pickup trucks because they have the capacity to haul most things such as campers, travel trailers, other cars, horse and cattle trailers, just to name a few. They also offer space for hauling many different things in the bed. This is convenient because no one wants to put a bale of hay or a deer carcass inside the cab of a vehicle even if it does fit. Trucks not only offer functionality but are also just fun to drive. They are high off of the ground and can typically travel places other low vehicles cannot go. They are great for off-road driving. They are also suitable for what is a typical Texas country tradition, mudding. Who doesn’t want to find a good mud hole and bust some 180’s and sling mud everywhere? How Do You Choose A Pickup Truck For You? Not everyone wants a big, high off the ground pickup truck. Some people want a pickup truck that offers a spaciou
