This has been suggested many times. To make a squish!

There are a few difficulties:

1) I used both the B and C pillars for the stretch (do I now have two B and two C pillars? or are they B though E? :-) so the clips would be hard to join securely.

2) I've spoken with someone who drove a squish, it wheelies on acceleration and braking tends to scuff the front bumper. :-) It could be a lot of fun, but it's not very stable.
