In the early 80s, HM Vehicles in Burnsville Minnesota built a 3-wheeled car called the Freeway. It came in gas and electric models. I was on the waiting list for a new one when they suddenly went out of business. Years later I picked one up -- a perfect specimen. It was a 1981 gas model and was in great condition. I had a chance to drive an electric one back in the day too. They were pretty peppy.

I flew out to Chicago to buy the Freeway and tried to drive it home to Washington State. I got as far as Milwaukee and decided it was too much of a go-cart to take across the Rocky Mountains. I loaded into a U-Haul and trucked it home. It was the icon for our 4-H car washes for a few years and it rode in a few parades.
