Why Do Cars Still Not Have A Fifth Wheel?

Back in 1950, someone thought that they could put the spare tyre to work when stored: Just use it to park the car. Why do manufacturers still not install this invention in every single car they make, I don’t know. But they should.

    I can NOT believe that is not standard. I also can’t believe I never thought of it. Wow.

    There are so many stupid reasons we ignore ingenius ideas.

    Why would you need this when todays cars can electronically parallel park? Time to look at the options list on some European and Japanese cars :p
