Kinda ugly from the front.
The concept sketch he was holding was better.

nothing excellent on fuel usually is pretty....

but the car is a major leap ahead of the fugly looking "smart" car that is beyond useless.

the question is.... is that car going to do well in the winter.


Another question, what would happen if they dropped a 150 pound MyT engine it? 200mpg? 0-60 in 2 seconds?

I'd like to hear more about the vapor system. That definitely sounds good.

However it is one ugly beast.

yeah, the designer and builder briefly described how they heat the fuel up till it vaporizes then mixed it with atmosphere and injected it into the engine, but it isnt a new idea, its been done with diesel and other fuels, except this one is supposedly more efficient with existing technology.

being the most powerful nation in the world, US gallons is the way to go

besides, it's cheaper than a "real" gallon

Most powerful is questionable at best.... I'd actually venture to say that US is probably 3 or even 4th on the "most powerful" list......

how is that?

the US has the most "toys" to play with, which does not require people to go into battle.

in terms of of population in the armed forces, you're right on that. AFAIK it's China with nearly 100million people in their military. that's 1/3 of the US population
