Cubes Cubed

Helen October 2, 2010 11 Comments

Okay, I know cars are evil.  They spawn obesity, strip malls, suburbs, social isolation, oil wars, pollution, and the destruction of the atmopshere.

But sometimes, they’re so darn cute!

Witness these darling Nissan Cubes cropping up around the neighborhood.  A trend?

    Cars are evil? Give me a break! Even hippies need cars to drive down their marijuana from Canada or to pile into to drive to a concert at the Gorge. Funny how people make comments like cars are evil yet ignore the power consumption of the server farm their blog is hosted at. I guess blogs are evil as they replace the local watering hole, make people fat from surfing the web all day, etc…

    I was following one of these the day, and it reminded me of a sling dress. They are cute little boxes on wheels!

    I was following one a couple weeks ago and thought it might be the AMC Pacer reincarnated.

    I have spent time in Japan and these box cars are very popular over there, probably close to 30-50% of the cars on the road. I think they tax automobiles based on weight and engine size, so small and smaller is good over there. I was wondering if I would ever see them here in the USA.

    Ok, sorry to be the math police but these aren’t “cubed”.

    3 x (Nissan Cube) not = (Nissan) ^3

    I’m not even sure how you’d raise a Nissan Cube to the 3rd power, but you’d probably end up with something much heavier, that perhaps looks like an Expedition that was pimped out by Wubzy.

    You would just get back a Nissan.
