Cool Stuff: Turd Shaped Car Gets 6,786 Miles Per Gallon
Pretty Nice M.P.G, if you don’t mind lying on your belly riding in a giant hotdog (or turd) shaped death trap.
While the tech involved is pretty cool, one can’t help wonder; wouldn’t it just be easier to rebuild (or re-invent) our rail infrastructure, build multi-use pedestrian friendly urban centers, and discontinue the destruction of our farmland and forests for more crappy Mc.Sprawl and super highways?
6,786 miles per gallon is a great achievement, that is, until you’re forced to lay on your belly in your turd-mobile stuck in traffic behind 20,000 other turd-mobiles making the same crappy commute we make today in our SUV’s.
Why are we Americans so opposed to the idea of true sustainable community? Is our Post World War II system of endless highways, Mc.Fry Huts, 2 hour commutes, gated communities, strip malls, and soulless big box consumer feeding tubes really worth it? Are we really going to ride around in turd mobiles so we can sustain this way of life? Is this a life worth living? or are we just going through the motions we’ve inherited?

If you have to lay down while driving, I’d be afraid I’d fall asleep behind the wheel.
The thing about more public transportation is this: I totally agree that we definitely need to increase public transportaion, but there has to be some form of individual transportation. There are just times when public transportation is not practical. At least they’re working on ways to make individualy transportation more enviornment-friendly.

The open highway represents the american way of life, “Freedom”, public transportation is giving away a small part of that freedom you cherish so much. Join a Commie party and you can enforce these ideas of efficiency and anti-waste. UP THE PROLETARIATE!!!
