I imagine some LinuxForum members are into hot rods and such. ( I admit I once used to frequently go to the New Hamshire Drag Races ) I saw this article today that might interest some of you.

i like classic cars enough to go to car shows and such. i think there is a little geek in everything we do though. i am an aviation fan as well I always wanted to go see the reno air races in nevada and see the red bull aerobatic air races.

I do not see any reason this man's genius could not be transferred to airplane, train, or truck engines. His success at what he does probably gives the oil executives plenty of nightmares.

How great a country we would be if our " political leaders " gave geniuses like him all the help, encouragement, and money that he needed to stop our oil importing vulnerabilities. What a great blessing that would be!!!

Way back in the late 1970's I had a pontiac lemans sport with rear air shocks, posi-traction etc. that I bought down in Georgia. One winter night I left Orange N.J. at 5;00PM and my kids were in their Boston beds at 9:00PM. I lost that car when a nut ran a red light and I plowed right into him bending the frame of my car.

I do not own a car anymore. if you live in New York City a car is just another way to bleed you out of money.

I'm sure everyone with a SUV or other large vehicle wants to get 60 miles to the gallon and go from o to 60 in five or six seconds with this mans inventions.

It would also be great to go to McDonald's, Wendy's or Burger King and use their old cooking grease for car fuel and drive right by the Exxon gas station!!!
