Are you someone with a standing desk? If you are, I have a question to ask you: how can you deal with the hypocrisy of sitting down to drive, when you have so clearly aligned yourself with the ethos of standing? Well, I’m happy to say that there’s finally a solution to your problem. As we speak on the webbed-site Bring a Trailer exists a fantastic vehicle that you drive while standing. And, it’s cool as hell. It’s a , and it’s exactly what you need.

First, just look at this adorable trolley-style little gremlin. Space utilization fetishists like myself should be overcome at the sight of it, as it encloses every cubic inch of volume that its footprint commands, with a nearly cubical body.

The engine is up front, but inside the cab, with the area above the engine being designed to hold even more cargo. So, it has a hood, of sorts, over the Hercules four-banger, but it’s wood and has railings because unlike most hoods, you can pile stuff on this one and it won’t go flying off into the windshield of the car behind you.

The rear is set up with shelving and lighting powered by a separate 12V battery (the rest of the electricals are a nostalgic 6V), and there is, notably, no driver’s seat, just as promised. If you’re wondering how you stand and drive, there’s a video that shows you:

Sure, it seems a bit strange, but those tall, springy pedals make it possible.

Twin Coach made a lot of trolleys—you can see that influence here—and buses. The name comes from the company’s innovative use of dual engines in a number of bus designs, which they used on a number of trucks and even a novel

These Twin Coaches were once popular delivery vehicles for things like milkmen—you can see a period example here in some documentation that comes with the car:

Look how much airy, open space you have in this thing! It’d be like commuting in a sunroom! Sure, longer commutes in traffic may have you wishing for a seat, but no seat means you can do squats while in traffic, and show up at work with the ass you’ve always dreamed of! What modern car can offer you that?

I just really love the look of this thing. I feel like the right sort of person could pull this off as a really novel daily driver, maybe with some fold-down seats for those times you and your passengers just don’t feel like standing anymore.

It’s currently in use as a coffee truck, and I guess that’s cool too, but I’m pretty sure you could turn this room on wheels into pretty much anything you want.

It’s been really well maintained and is said to run just fine, so no need to worry about maintenance or repairs! I’m sure Autozone has any Twin Coach or Hercules engine parts that you’d ever need, right? Of course they do.

Bidding is currently a bit over seven grand at the moment, with about a week to go. Someone needs to snap this up and have a really adorably bonkers city car. Oh, and it appears to be period-correct in that it has only one taillight and no indicators, so you may want to upgrade those.

Live that standing desk commitment the cool way for once, dammit!

The V8 Vantage was Aston Martin’s answer to Porsche’s 911, and as today’s roadster demonstrates, it can now be had for less than its contemporary German competitor. Let’s see if that makes it a British bargain. When getting a job at any major clothing retailer, the first thing you’re...

There must be a lot of people who aren’t phased by high gas prices. Automakers keep rolling out like it’s the 2000s all over again. It makes sense, though, as these things print money for automakers. And people love big luxury SUVs, even if some of them may be...
