Some weeks ago, in Austin, TX, some friends of mine saw a car with a
fuselage pod for a body, something like a BD-5 aircraft, and several
other unusual features.  It has tandem seating for a driver and a
passenger, a bubble that flips open for entry, rear wheel driven by
a chain, and two outrigger wheels slightly behind center (side view)
that stabilize it at low speeds (they probably don't do much when it's
underway).

Could someone supply a manufacturer for this?  There have been several
reports by others, also, on the Texas roads.

Please reply by mail.
