If this is the same car that came up from Texas to B.C., it's a
R&D/stock market scam. It's power train is optimised for performance,
and is totally impractical for day to day use. God help you if you need
the wipers, or heater fan motor.

Always crunch the numbers, if it looks too good to be true, it
undoubtedly is. In this case, the numbers didn't add up; that's when
the developers admitted that the car depended on the new "miracle"
batteries being developed as they spoke.

Maybe it'll sound like our mass transit "SkyTrain", like something out
of Star Treck... linear propulsion motors, rather than rotary. Weird
noises from it.
