Yes, it’s based on a car, but the front end is off a bike (bonus points if you can figure out what it’s from, cause I can’t), so I’m considering this suitable enough to feature. For just $2,000, you too can have a homemade trike with the drivetrain of an automatic Fiero. Seems appropriate to post this on April Fool’s …
