          What do you 
          do with old Bumper Cars?
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          








 
 
 

It's easy for a gear-head to 
          be discouraged about the state of the world, especially in times of 
          Carpocalypse and Cash for Clunkers. 
 
But 
          occasionally a bright light of awesome renews the 
          spirit. 
 
Road-legal bumper cars do just 
          that. 
  
Yes, 
          you read that right; these little beasties are street legal. They run 
          on either  Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt 
          vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we've 
          seen in too long. 
 
There 
          are seven of these little monsters floating around  California , 
          and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright , a builder in the 
          outskirts of  San Diego  who figured the leftovers of the 
          Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the 
          trash heap. They were originally powered by Harley motors but they 
          rattled like hell and Tom replaces them with Honda or  Kawasaki 
          750's and a couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH , which is 
          terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short 
          wheelbase.
