Can you imagine the splinters you'd get if you wreck that thing. Talk about a fate worst than death...
Not to mention how many rainforests would die to build it...
Mining for metals and obtaining oil for plastic destroys trees too...
50 mph? Lousy! A 1959 MGA with wood floor boards and dash hits 120 mph.
$32K? What's the point of making a car out of wood if it doesn't cut manufacturing costs?
As a marketing gimmick for your furniture company?
Kinda redefines the term "woody"...
Since when does barely 50 mph = Supercar?
That isn't a "car". It's a three wheeled motorcycle with a wooden structure built around it.
Being it can only reach about 50mph, I'd say it's a heavy wooden structure, or a very weak motor.
BOOOOO all the way around.
To top this guy, I'm going to go buy the frame for a car and, instead of putting a body on it, I'm going to build it out of wood. Bah.
Yo, my boys chillin in the hot whip!
That shit would look hot with some 24" DUBS.
PEACE!
That dude's a total pimp. Fo' real.
Art car junk... just something that was cobbled together. Frankly... I expected more from the Japanese.
From the pictures at the top, it looks like they've already had to replace the front bumper/grill.
Butt ugly.
I bought one of those used. Turned out it had termites. :-(
I had a wooden car. It wooden go.
Passe though. Haven't Morgan been making wood-framed cars for years?
Probably safer than a Toyota.

Wood I?
HARELIP! HARELIP!
No, the engine is wood too. Each piece is hand carved to exacting specs. This is why it only does 50 mph. thats how long until the engine catches fire.
=P
I hope the ashtray isn't made out of wood too.
Just sayin.
"Since when does barely 50 mph = Supercar?"
If you got a faster wooden car, then stage it up at the light. Otherwise this is the top of the heap...
A Morgan Plus 8 would blow the doors off this thing. If it had doors. And, yes, Mogs still have wooden chassis.
Nothing new here, folks, keep it moving.
Where's Bob Vila when you need him. What did they make the body with, 2x4s and a bandsaw? I hate to bash, but at 32K, it's just uglier than sin.
lets make some wooden samurai swords next.
oooh sooo fast!
