So, we really ought to have a motorcycle only version of this.

I don't think you are getting it. It is for the driver to have full visibility of what is around the vehicle. The vehicle looks completely normal from the outside.

Hmm. How old are you?

This is also amazing!

That's amazing!

Yes. Transparent aluminum.

Tiny car, tiny low power engine, why not? The only reason today's cars don't get better mileage is because we want more power. Even gramma expects a decent amount of power in her grocery getter.

They all look the same.

Wow!

BWMs don't really do it for me, but this one I've always liked. Here's one on CL for $15k.

bicycle yes, motorcycle no.

I've fantasized about driving rally, but no. I actually said to myself as I watched, "yep, there's no way I could ever actually do this."

Jeez, I was gripping my desk watching this!

Kitteh, obviously. But only at idle.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the F1 turbos have the electric motor connected to the turbo shaft directly.

This reminds me of something that an economist said. He made the argument that if you mandated that all cars have a dagger installed on the steering wheel pointed at the driver, that the roads would be much safer because drivers would be more attentive.

My friends and I were being more than a bit irresponsible on some back roads and one of them took a bumblebee in the visor as he passed me. I was doing 115. He said it sounded like a gunshot went off in his helmet and he actually let go of the handlebars for a second.
