Wow, great idea Michael! I found this at the Rhoades Car web site too (in the FAQ section)....

Q. Who uses Rhoades Cars?

[...]

The undertaker in Texas that needed a novel way to advertise his business.
The lady in Ohio, that waged a political campaign from her 2 seat Rhoades Car.
The guy in Florida starting his second trip around the state by bike.
The lady from Rochester New York, that rode a greyhound bus to our plant in Tennessee to pickup her 4W2PCP, and then rode it home.
The state Governor of a Mid East oil country that had 2 4W4PS flown over to him. (We're really not sure what he's using his for.)


and this too!

Q. Is there any way I can make money with my Rhoades Car?
A. Yes, and make it tax deductable.- The Rhoades car can be rented for $10 to $15 per hour. The 4W4P can be rented or used to shuttle passengers for $1 per 5 minute ride. 3 passengers every 5 minutes equals $252 a day. Parks, flea markets, shopping malls, large parking lots etc. are good places to start. In fact, with your first Rhoades Car order we will send you Free, a business opportunity information pack


Some very interesting ideas there.... Probably would be a lot of fun too, especially for the summer (as it's summer downunder) or anywhere the weather is warm.... :)
