“The 4-sided square wheel and the 3-sided triangle wheel are older experimental models. But those are nothing special. You should see the 2-sided one!”
I’m amused by the car dealership commercials nowadays, “Come on down. You used car will never be worth more than it is today.” That’s true and there is comfort in that statement providing you are not buying another car.
Little known fact on the development of wheel.They experimented with a five-side-wheel, which was better. But, due to budget cuts, people where laid of, and a small crew developed the one-sided-wheel. So, we have “wheel” thanks to staff reductions!
I have indeed noticed that some mistakes are so bad that they are valuable both as object lessons and modern art. If you weld enough trash together and paint it purple and silver, you can probably sell it.

Ah, yes, the triangular wheel, it eliminated one of the bumps of the square wheel.

These must be the all terrain models. Round is for roads only.

Both salesmanship and wheel design have (hopefully) improved.

Funny thing, I see kids now rolling around on variations of BC’s wheel invention. I’m sure his patent has expired or his wealth would be unrivaled.

Not much on traveling very far but excellent for parking on steep hills.
