Good Afternoon,
Has anyone seen these?  Does anyone own one?  Did I miss something?

I'm talking about This Thing.

This is a real car.  My friend has one.  The only problem is it only uses Festool brand gas at $10 a gallon.  At every Festool station he goes to it is the same price.    Of course, Festool and all other users claim that it is better than any other brand of gas.

They do run a special once in awhile where if you fill your tank up you can get Festool oil for $4.95 a litre instead of its normal $5.00.

The other thing is that you don't need a garage.  It comes with its own Systainer #85.

Well done.  Don't forget that is uses a proprietary rim size for the tires, which are only available in "street", "all weather", "all terrain", and "mud", cost between $200 and $400 per tire,  but they wear very well, and those who use them swear by them.  Most users own all 4 sets, and switch between them using the quick fix axle assembly.

The proprietary rims have built-in ports for brake dust collection too!
