Invention of the week: The Park-Car...

Well, I'd never seen this video before, so thanks Jay!
Seems to me the wheel drops down left of centre and arcs under. I would guess at that point it engages a gear near the rear U-joint. Rear wheels off the ground, put car in drive, wheel spins. If I'm right, you could rotate either direction.

 

I gotta say that I would love to floor it and see what happens!

 

Useful idea that seems to work, I wonder why it never really took off.

 

make sure if you put stuff in the trunk to load it evenly!

love it!

 

shame of it is, youtube pulled that vid... some copyright infringement.

 

just for you trav

Way cool,especially for those that are parallel challenged.

 

Haha - thats the first thing that came to my mind after watching it.

 

momma fiddy thanks you

 

Genius!

 

probably would have caught on if they would have stuck a sombrero on the 5th wheel.

 

I could use one of them to help wifey do the parallel park!

 

I wonder what a driving instructor would say when giving your test and they told you to parrellel park and you engaged one of these??

 

holy bat turn batman... w/o a chute

 

Can any one tell me or post a link to somewhere on how this actually works,i am baffled on how this all works.it just seems to me there is to much trying to go on in to tight of a space????

 

So lets say I bought this option, Im heading from L.A. to Las Vegas. I have a flat out past Barstow. How hard is it going to be to remove that for a spare?

 

hmm... past barstow. i'm tempted to think you're fucked out that way... is it before baker? cause if you're out near zzyzx road, you'll surly die of exposure . . .

 

I'm thinking something like a motorcycle swing arm mounted sideways, electric motor sitting atop the tire with direct contact. Could be driven either way.

 

That's cool! I've never seen that before. I love the 1950's background commercial music.
