When George Jetson reaches work based on the opening of ‘The Jetsons’, he climbs out his car and pushes a button and it folds up into a briefcase. Now we may not have flying cars as yet but we do have something that borders on that idea, that being a scooter that folds up not into a briefcase per say, but small enough to be lugged into the office or the supermarket without too much of a strange look.

I’ve heard of creative charitable efforts yes, but this one totally rocks it. The banana-shaped car that you see in the picture above is not just a funny pseudo-car sitting at the entrance of some circus, but a real one, built from scratch out of a 1991 Ford F-150. Developed by Steve Braithwaite who moved to the US from England two decades ago, the ‘Big Banana’ car is going to be used by him and his brother Spade to tour the world and spread awareness about deep venin thrombosis, a medical condition that led to their mother’s death.
Going by the looks of that car, it isn’t surprising that the brothers have already managed to raise $1200 for the cause and hope to be able to raise a lot more. Come Spring, and don’t be surprised if you see this eye-catching Banana-shaped car zifting past you and leaves you wondering if you just saw what you saw.
