I'm not the original poster
and he didn't want that. He was pointing out that you couldn't make
your sportscar do the job of a pickup truck no matter how much
sportcart fanatics were sure it was the best of all possible worlds.

That was the original poster's point, that the bent configuration was
not as versatile as the upright, specifically that it couldn't be setup
to do utility work. It might manage a small load, but not a serious
one without having to go to a trailer. I dunno you'd manage a trailer
to carry what Moz can carry on One Less Ute even.
