Ticos are Daewoos built in post-Soviet Eastern Europe. They are known for their performance on snowy Romanian roads and their dependability on isolated Polish highways. When the autobahn was being built, the precursor to the Tico was the German's test car. It was this Tico's lineage that helped to engineer the world's greatest road.
The Tico is build out of a carbon-aluminum alloy. It has the capacity to go fast, so fast that I will not even publish its amazing abilities. Sometimes, the Tico takes control of its own path which is why it was the Tico that inspired the great show NightRider.
When we were given the opportunity to get the Tico, Leanne and I had to really determine if we were ready and able to make such a commitment. We said yes, and we do not regret it. Now we have a car that manages to push out about 80 horsepower on its incredibly advanced 3-cylinder engine.
Now Leanne can drive back and fourth from Prek Pneu in a car that is safe, reliable and dust-free (for the most part). The Tico is actually no more than a golf-cart with doors. If I raced a golf cart, I am not sure which vehicle would win, I guess it would be a matter of how old the golf cart is. But the car provides much a safer way for Leanne to get to work, and for that we are so excited.
The Tico sits about 8-inces off the ground and is about 4.5 feet tall - seriously. It does not idle unless it is warmed up like a go-cart and we constantly have to choose between the fan or radio because the car cannot manage both well. We literally have to be careful about driving in rain because too much water means a the Tico floats away - I wish I was joking. But we love the new addition to the family and we cannot wait and see where the Tico takes us next.

Proud owners of the Red Baron.
Thank you to those who pray for our safety. This awesome car is such an answer to the prayers that we have had for the last month.
