Awe man, I was at least hoping for price information. I would like us to replace our commute bus (van's) with these.

Pssshaw how about this?

Man I love reading these updates. FWIW, refurbished is the way to go. For ~$800 on Newegg during Christmas 2013 I managed to snag an i7-3770, 32gigs of ram, 1TB HDD, GTX 650 (which will be updated for Christmas this year)

uhmmm... Lets look at 25 year old cars (because that is how old the original car was when the movie was released.) I nominate... A 1989 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser.

I have had a couple Intel drives wipe clean, os and everything gone. A warranty ain't gonna recover lost data.

Flame war? Well the paper book will burn easier.

An external ssd will have far better random read/write times. Yes both can transfer sequential data the same speed, but that has never been where ssd's have shone. Some reviews of various load times on games for usb hdd/ssds can be found in the following link.

Wait, since when was selling a used game at gamestop for 99 cents a positive?

The xbox one allows using external solid state drives with usb 3.0 support allowing up to 300mb/s read/write speeds. Early adopters aren't screwed.

hmmm... If it goes backward or turns on the spot won't it have issues collecting shit between the tracks panels?

was it painted black?

Same ballpark in terms of weight? The M4 weighs in as much as a loaded Outback :-/ while the Vette weighs in around a base WRX.

They need to rerelease the waiting in line simulator.

The Dongfeng Hanma

There was a fuel vapour car with 3 wheels being made in Canada, apparently it could pull up to 1.4g without substantial downforce. My guess is that the fourth wheel is really just extra weight when designing these ultra light cars.

I recently bought a pair of Harman Karman CL headphones on a amazon.com flash sale for about $65 ($90 once imported to Canada), totally happy with my purchase, and I don't see myself buying a new/more expensive set any time soon. :)

Too bad the european cycle over inflates their numbers. Their Prius gets about 74mpg too...

You're looking at it the wrong way. It's like a gecko, you blast the wheel off and escape on the remaining three!

One of the final design projects for a colleague of mine at university did just this as a final design project. His final takeaway was that, it is possible, but the energy saved doesn't compare to the extra mass the car has to carry coupled with the extra cost/complexity for manufacture.
