There is just way too much happening on the Local Motors site. Hundreds of vehicle sketches, people voting on this and that, different phases of the competition with names like Design, Checkup, and Garage Voting. But, if you ignore the complexity of the interface, you’ll find a few totally cool automotive ideas, like the Green Apple city car, above. The idea behind Local Motors is to have a community design a car and then build it in their local area. Forget the 100 mile diet, this is like the 100 mile car - if it ever comes together.
