When they ask how I fit in it, I will sometimes say " a shoehorn helps" or "very well thank you" Then I usually let them sit in it and see how much room there really is.

At work Friday someone ask why are there only two doors? I just gave a weird look while someone else chimed in with cause only two people fit in it.

Now when someone wants a ride I tell them they have to put two quarters in those coin holders for it to start. So far I have made a buck.

Odd question. My Honda Civic only had 2-doors as well and nobody asked me why it only had two doors (though it could seat 4). Now if a car only had one-door, there's a time to start asking about the doors.

Ummm... because it's a two-door hatchback? Hello? Don't these people make you crazy!! Like Nukleon says, do they ask why your Honda or your Corvette or something is a two-door?

The BMW Isetta has only one door; in front. I wonder how many times they get asked why it has only one door?

The latest question, I'm sure the guy was trying to impress his passengers "Where do you put the quarters?" I told him "In my piggy bank, at 41.6 mpg I fill up with pocket change." He said an expletive and drove off in his SUV. If someone asks again I'll show them the coin holder and say I just put in 4 quarters and move the shift lever.

The look I get when I tell peeps that it will do 90 MPH, and it runs on gas is priceless!

Aren't you afraid to drive that on the interstate?
What kind of gas mileage do you get with that thing?
