    I hope this isn't what they're counting on to bring them back.

    I don't get why the Segway has to balance on two wheels. Why couldn't they just add a third wheel to it? I've seen countless people fall off of the Segways and land face first into the ground. It's not pretty, but sure is funny.

    What a great idea. It's like a moped, except 20 times as expensive! Really foward thinking on GM's part to build on the HUGE success of the Segway. What could possibly go wrong?

    35mph, so the thing would "motor" on the streets. Imagine one getting hit by anything larger than a bicycle! :eek:

    I've never been as pissed at the revealing of a product as I was the ******* Segway after all the hype they had for that thing. It was supposed to change the goddamned world and it hasn't changed ****.

    For some reason, whenever I think of a segway, I think of Fatty FatBastard. I seem to remember him talking about getting one so he wouldn't have to get DWI's on his way home from Midtown.

    I seriously thought this had to be an Onion article.

    I want my taxpayer money back.

    And for the record, segways have done nothing but revolutionize the way dopey tourists get around places.
