I paid $11,250 for the smallest car ever…is it legal?

Most people dream about powerful cars, but this strange little machine only makes about 13 horsepower and barely reaches 46 mph. After paying $11,250 for the tiny car, the plan was simple - attempt a 100-mile road trip and see what happens. What followed was a loud, cramped journey that turned heads everywhere it went, with people laughing and pointing at the unbelievably small vehicle. Despite its size, the little car pushed forward mile after mile until something inside finally gave up. By the end of the trip, it proved one thing: sometimes the smallest cars create the biggest adventures.

This police car had 130,000 miles of chases - and he bought it

What started as a random impulse buy quickly turned into something much bigger after picking up not just one, but two old police cars.

NIO EL6 review: The smooth and stylish premium electric SUV

In this review, Peter tests the NIO EL6, a premium electric SUV designed to compete with models like the BMW X3, BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz EQ SUVs, and Audi Q6 e-tron. Measuring 4.85 meters long, the EL6 offers a spacious cabin, nearly 700 liters of luggage space, and a luxurious minimalist interior featuring high-quality materials, a responsive floating touchscreen, and Nomi, NIO’s interactive AI assistant. While the near absence of physical buttons makes climate and vehicle settings less convenient to access, the front seats provide heating, ventilation, massage functions, and even an electric passenger footrest, while rear passengers enjoy generous legroom beneath a large panoramic glass roof. Powered by a dual-motor AWD system producing nearly 500 horsepower, the EL6 accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 4 seconds, yet its refined Comfort mode makes it feel far more suited to relaxed family touring than aggressive driving. Buyers can choose a 100 kWh battery with impressive driving range, but the biggest innovation is NIO’s battery swapping system, allowing eligible owners to replace a depleted battery with a fully charged one in under five minutes at dedicated swap stations, offering a unique alternative to conventional fast charging as the network continues to expand.
