Description - November 2018 -

Not all fortunians are equally elegant. A glider's grace in the air doesn't translate to the ground. Every vehicle must find their own means of locomotion; some have better options than others.

The thumbnail made me laugh when I saw it in my notifications. I'm sure this would be quite a sight to behold.

On a windless day, at least.

Would be an interesting experience sitting in that thing while it's walking 

Although one thing's for sure, I'd tighten the seat belts to infinity or ask the glider to tighten it for me.

Fortunians generally don't get too adventurous with passengers - it's not worth the risk. But, it would be an interesting perspective to take a seat up there.

That's an interesting take on a glider. Just imagine how this guy would try to run, it'd be a breeze. That's a perk for being the sailboat of the air.

I'd think it would be difficult to stay balanced on limbs that long. Sprinting would probably be a bad idea. :/ And thank you.

You're welcome. So are there any fortunian vehicles that actually can't move outside their natural mode of locomotion then?

Cars don't have many options. They can stretch their axels to take small steps. Even when using these improvised legs, it's still a life of four wheels.

Boats are just as wiggly as other vehicles, but they're still bound to the water. Most attempts to climb on land will have results similar to beached whales.

A freight train's sheer weight inhibits their ability to leave the tracks without causing damage, and they may get stuck in soft soil.

Hmm, does the game Daddy Long Legs ring a bell?
