4. I had a car once that had a very liberal attitude to
the whole steering and stopping routine. A many-times-owned Cadillac Sedan deVille, if I remember correctly.

my next car will either be hybrid or hydrogen. heres a compressed air powered car i saw on slashdot.org

http://www.theaircar.com/



dont forget those diesel VW's converted to cooking oil, smells like fast food driving down the road. bmw has a hydrogen car. fuel cells are making advances. we went from coal/wood>steam power to gas. time for another leap.

12. Air car is like air guitar
Good for people who have nowhere to go. I think they got it up to a few miles.

Doesn't solve the problem of the energy source needed to compress the air.

13. Saab, the other Swedish car
I think their owner demographics show they're pretty much liberal iconoclasts that value safety and good gas mileage, but appreciate the fun of driving.
