Motorised Carousel Ponies   (+5)  [vote for, against]
A carousel pony, motor and pogo stick.

By introducing special carousel pony lanes marked by vibrant lane markings upon certain highways,busy people may now pogo-a-pony across town.

These exquisite and beautiful ponies are a delight to observe and use. You control the reins which in turn rev's the self contained engine attached to the centered pogo stick.Hop on, feet into the stirrups, a quick "giddyup" and off you go bouncing across town.

Other variations could include the magic of Unicorns or the mythical fantasy of Pegasus.

If Rolls Royce have a problem getting Spirit of Ecstasy not to damage pedestrians, think of the problems you're going to have with a unicorn.

This is a beautiful idea. It just begs for an illustration.

"Mummy I want a pony!" just got more expensive and more dangerous.

...And more manly. Jeremy Clarkson will be test-driving one before you know it.
(DISCLAIMER: I find Jeremy Clarkson immensely annoying; I just don't know any other test-driving people's names.)

coprocephalous/wagster: be even more worried if they ask for a yard (this is misdefined in that article - it actually means a billion of whatever currency you're talking about).
