A family friend built a gyroscopic controlled two wheeled car. (I may have talked about this before...) It seemed to work great at low speeds. However, things got really weird at highway speeds. After one such test drive with his wife in the car he took the torch to it and cut it up. I do not have a photo of it with body work but here it is with out.

Today I learned about gyro cars. First one was 1914 and weighed 2.7 tons.

Ford’s 1961 Gyron look pretty cool.
