I'm personally sick and tired of seeing anything politically related so just use this as a friendly reminder about not posting political related opinions.

Thanks.

Didn't the Russians experiment with a car like this in the early fifty's, they called it the Volga. I think it was even built by "THE" GM also? If the price of gasoline would "somehow" go down we would not be having this discussion now. Electric cars are close but not ready for prime time. Ask yourself will electricity be cheaper when the EPA closes down all the dirty old midwest coal generating power plants? I guess I got more con's than pro's right now.

Racing has almost always been on the cutting edge of automotive technology. Let's start there and see where it leads us, remember the car of tomorrow the Chrysler turbine. Did not work out.
