Default Gov Daniels in Japan tries out the I-Unit

The other day our Governor was in Japan trying to drum up some business for the state, and was with the Secretary of Commerce. They went to Toyota, Subaru, and other auto makers trying to get them interested in building more plants in Indiana. They are seen here at this link trying the Toyota I-Unit. Be sure to hit the zoom button below the pic. I didn't realize that it had bright neon triming around it. Thats kinda cool.

I think this I-Unit looks like an Emporers mobile throne/ chariot. Much to big for side walks even if it does bow down and go much faster. I do like the I-swing better.
Here is another much better pic of it in the low position from Wikipedia
