This three-wheeler is a Chevrolet Cavalier with a mullet

The Chevrolet Cavalier wasn't what you'd call a particularly exciting car. In the dictionary, the term "cavalier" is defined as "showing a lack of proper concern." In the automotive dictionary, it just means "beige."

To combat this inherent beige-ness, one Craigslist poster has decided to do something unique to his Cavalier—turn it into a three-wheeler that, if you squint (or consume many holiday brandies), looks a bit like Batman's Batpod. Only infinitely worse.

The trike derives from the front end of a Cavalier meshed to a single Mickey Thompson 18-inch wheel at the rear, glued together by a maze of welded tubes that create a roll cage. According to the listing, it has a 5-speed manual transmission, anti-lock brakes, seat belts, airbags, heater, radio CD player and air conditioning, all of which "work great." Personally, I like the downforce-producing rear wing. That's got to add, what, 300 lbs. of downforce at speed, give or take 300 lbs.?
