The Pedal Powered Flintstones Car Rides Again! Case Tossed Out of Court

I was happy to read yesterday that the case against Torontonian Trevor Baldwin for driving what is best described as a pedal powered Flintstones car was tossed out of court. Artist Michel de Groin gutted the ‘86 Buick Regal- ripping out the engine, exhaust, transmission, and even the headlights, replacing them with candles, turning it into a lighweight human powered conveyance.

The car hits just under 10 MPH on flat ground with four people pedaling and was pulled over by the police in October for being “unsafe”. The prosecutor had a hard time making his case in court and was interrupted by laughter from the peanut gallery. The case was dismissed and Baldwin took his car out for a drive.

Huzzah, a win for the green little guy.
