2 cars in one

Russian-born inventor Shalom Bloch built a two-sided car, by combining two cars so that they have two fronts. Now he can drive it either way. One side has an automatic transmission, the other a stick shift. The interviewer asks him: Why do you need to switch sits, instead of putting it in reverse? He answers: Now you don’t need to use reverse at all.

The biggest danger of driving this car (in Israel) is the possibility of accidents, due to curious drivers. The project to create this hybrid car took three months to complete. If he runs out of gas in one side, he can switch to the other & keep driving. (Thank you, Dafna!)

This is not the only 2-sided cars. There’s a Japanese version too.
