Tis awesome.

I think it even looks cool, like an airplane without wings. Too bad it is only being sold in California, and even then it isn't released for another 12 months. They apparently begin mass production towards the end of this year. If I could find a dealership in California when they are released, I may consider making a special trip just for that.



Also interesting:
Pond Scum Ethanol

Apparently a suped up version of this is going to make an appearance in the new Star Trek film.

I also desire that weird looking car. It is about time we start driving the weird-ass cars people in the 70s thought we would have in the future.


BTW, your poll is biased, no soylent ethanol option.

My choice was bio-diesel. Cheap, simple, 1970s technology and I can brew it myself. Not exactly carbon-neutral, but then, F the environment.

I didn't include it because I think it will be replaced with the more efficient pond scum farms in the next 5 years.

Hmm. I wonder what a pond-scum vodka would taste like.

Like duck and dead fish, but with a nice bite at the end.
Speaking of things the 1970's thought we have, where is my sassy robot maid? I was promised by the Jetsons that I'd have a robot maid by now.

Wait wait wait, what if we just put sails on all the cars? like sailboats! and i know what your thinking, that wind isnt constant...so lets just put a fan behind the sail to blow wind into it, that ensures that there will be a constant wind supply and a reliable vehicle!

other than that, hydrogen is the only way to go, although soylent items do burn rather well...

Remember, Soylent ethanol day is Tuesday!

We just watched that movie in the biologywood (the class where you watch sci fi movies)

It was great, not going to lie.

How about a urine powered car. Plenty of that available and you can't raise prices on it either.
