The Cube: Snappy Little Nissan SUV

Saw this parked last night nearby. The designers got a lot of stuff right here — it just looks sensible. (Reminds me of the look of those cars in that animated movie about same.)

He can't imagine why I would even think about plywood, never mind buying it. (City boy, he's never bought an electric drill, either.)

Surfsister said...: I love them too. Apparently folks either love them or they hate them. My only issue is that it's not quite big enough for me to stick my longboard inside.; February 20, 2012 2:22 PM

It was very susceptible to crosswinds and passing Semi's. It's great for zipping around town but I didn't feel safe in it on the highway.; February 20, 2012 5:27 PM
