THE WORST DRIVER IN THE WORLD The record of the worst driver is tied between 2 candidates; first a 75-year-old man who received 10 traffic tickets, drove on the wrong side of the road 4 times, committed 4 hit-and-run offenses, and caused 6 accidents, all within 20 minutes on October 15, 1966. Second, a 62-year-old woman who failed her driving test 40 times before passing it in August, 1970. By the time, she had spent over $700 in lessons and could no longer afford to buy a car.
WHAT IS THE MOST POWERFUL CAR Obviously the car would have to be a gorgeous McLaren F1 6.1. This car is developed in excess of 627 bhp. The car can accelerate from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. It has also been recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most powerful car.
WHAT IS THE LONGEST CAR??? The car is a 100-feet-long, 26 wheel limo designed by Jay Ohrberf of Burbank, California. This vehicle includes a swimming pool with a diving board and a kingsize waterbed among its man luxurious features. It can also be driven a rigid vehicle or altered to bend in the middle. The designers of these long-streched cars try to outdo each other not just with the length of the limo but with additional features. For example, the 68-ft, 22-wheel Cadillac Hollywood Dream has 6 telephones, a satellite dish, a putting green, and a helicopter landing pad. All these unbelievable vehicles are recorded in the Guinness Bool Of World Records 2000 Edition.
WHAT IS THE SMALLEST CAR IN THE WORLD??? The smallest car in the world is made by Daimler-Benz. It's exterior length is just under 8 ft. 4 by 1 ft. 8 in. The two-seated car has removable body panels made out of thermoplastic, allowing the owners to change the colour of their vehicle. (ever heard of paint?)
WHAT IS THE CHEAPEST CAR??? The cheapest car is the 1922 Red Buckboard, built by the Briggs and Stratton Company in Milwaukee, Wilson, was on the market for $125 to $150. This would be equivalent to $1130 to $1878 in todays pricing. It weighs only 245lb. This car is also on the world records for the cheapest car.
