Um. Doesn’t petrol eat through plastic eventually?
Polystyrene? Yes. That bucket is probably HDPE or something like that though which wouldn’t react to gas. Most modern car gas tanks are some form of high density plastic.
A "How much for the Toyota?"
B "$2000"
A "Crap, I only have $1000."
B " ... We can work with that."
ok but is this safer than a regular motorbike during a collision?
No, because there's a plastic fuel bucket right behind the driver's seat
If that back wheel rotated freely it would be a dope drift machine. Just mash the gas whenever you get too sideways
Great gas mileage if you don't mind the road noise
