Going about town in anything other than a four-wheeled vehicle with an engine sounds like a waste of time to us, but some youth still insist four wheels are three too many.
Take Swedish unicyclist Martin Sjonneby for example. He's so fond of that one wheel between his ankles that he shows it off to people. Martin has taken unicycling to new heights… quite literally.

He set a new world record for high jumps, reaching 1,320mm, or 4 feet 4 inches. To celebrate, he jumped on top of an old Ford Fiesta. Now, we know the 1995 supermini is cheap and old, bu it was a clean car before he smashed its windshield.

That little car spent two decades transporting people and keeping them safe. Did it deserve that?

Unlike the modern Fiesta which is almost 1.5 meters tall, this old one is low, its roof sitting above the ground at 1.32 meters.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
