A decent-looking sports car that goes from 0-60 in four seconds, and still gets 50mpg.

On pure soy-bean oil bio-diesel.

Made by a group of high school drop-outs and no-accounts out of West Philly in their spare time.

Sorry. =^.^= Subtle = Over my head. That, and I've actually heard people give that as a reason why they'd never get a car that "might have bio-diesel in it" so they avoid getting any diesel car at all because of that. The whole 'covered in boiling grease' thing, specifically.

It's ok. Humor does not always carry over in text very well.


As much of a technophile as I am, and hopeful about new ideas/technology, I am skeptical about this vehicle. I would like to see the readings from the tests they have done on the road and track with it.
I could say that I get 60 miles to the gallon, and 0-90 in 2.3 seconds in my PT Cruiser, but it is more believable when you actually see it do such feats.
