hehehe....there is a bit too much of discussion about "ordinary/normal" cars in the forum. So I'm going to highlight a different CAR being used in "out of this world" environment. It's a Moon buggy (or technically known as LRV- Lunar Roving Vehicle)

Read the below articles and you'll be amazed with the amount of effort, money, thought, challenge and the inguinity have been put in to the design and building these Moon buggy....Hat off to NASA engineers!!!!
