The World's Smallest Car

The first reaction people had when they saw my car was complete disbelief. A spilt second later they howled with laughter. It’s so tiny - Perry Watkins

Perry Watkins is the builder of the world's most recent smallest car. It is 39 inches high and 26 inches wide and is also fully functional. Now Perry is 6 foot tall making it difficult for him to even get into this car, let alone drive it. To do this he must contort his body to get in. Lucky he designed it so that the whole top of the car will flip up.
Holding the record for world's smallest car is already pretty cool but this is not Perry's first record. He also currently holds the record for world's flattest car.

When I saw this on tv I thought it was pretty interesting, I mean you NEVER see cars this small. It got me wondering though, why do these people do these things? For some people I think it's just because they want to hold the record, maybe even be remembered. But most records are broken over time as people are always trying to outdo each other. I don't believe this is why Perry does what he does though. For some people I believe they just like what they are doing and maybe don't even wish to break any records. I think this holds true for Perry too, despite holding two world records (they're both for cars though which leads me to believe he likes what he's doing). His family as even called is a hobby, further leading me to believe Perry is just doing what he loves to do. And hey if your going to get recognized for something you love, why not?
