why not swap your spark plugs for laser beams?

i thought this sounded pretty off the wall, but interesting at the same time...

Pretty cool idea, but the age of gas internal combustion engines is at its end... IDK whether this will see life.

Erm, prius = gas engine. You fail.

Reality is reality... learn your diesels if you wanna still make noise with your form of transportation...

Yeop Diesel is the future. The sooner these eco nazi can ditch the gay ass sulfur laws like the rest of the world the sooner the rest of the car companies can start making 20% more efficient cars at a 20% lower fuel cost.

You want the future in personal transportation? Go to a Volkswagon dealer and test drive a TDI car.

Sweet, so the future is being stuck on the side of the road and having tons of warranty work because of crap VW cars? Nice.

Personally, I would not give up my "IDENTITY" to conform to technology. But if you can minupulate the world to perform in your existance. Then you are ahead of the game.
