That's a scary gas tank location. It's like a Ford Pinto on meth.

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.
For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/
I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.

Oh my god I didn’t even process what that was at first. NOOOOOOOOOO.
Only meth? I'm willing to bet some PCP was involved
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.
Ok thanks. So not any kind of plastic.
Yeah, I was surprised the first time I saw a plastic gas tank (it was on the ground outside an auto repair shop). I just assumed they were usually made out of metal.
A "How much for the Toyota?"
B "$2000"
A "Crap, I only have $1000."
B " ... We can work with that."
Great gas mileage if you don't mind the road noise
WHAT?
"Remember: if the women don't find you handsome, they can at least find you handy."
If that back wheel rotated freely it would be a dope drift machine. Just mash the gas whenever you get too sideways
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
