It's actually the top of a marshmallow. It continues under the hood where it feeds the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man who actually runs a la Flintstones to move the car along.
...Just don't tell the Ghostbusters he's there.

Only taking of leave of absence from Canada for an indeterminate length of time. Planning to join the work force when we return, cause besides the last 1 and 1/2 years not working, have always worked full time with something else on side. The military just isn't looking for over 40 guys with metal reinforced spines, so we had to look else where (tried to sign on with a buddy when 18, figured flying jets would be the best thing ever).
Well overseas we're trying to live as simply as possible, only luxuries will be traveling and internet access.

That being a Midget II, is it still only a single-seater, or is there enough room for two. Doesn't look like there is any seating behind the front seat, but hey, it's still a pretty cool looking vehicle!

They have this car in Gran Tourismo 2 (PS1). The slowest car in the game.

Has a faint resemblance with a Citroen 2cv... Funny how we all love corky vehicles!

My first thought was that marshmallow was the knob you turned to wind up the spring . It would definately stand out.
