apparently... at least what i heard.. was that time travel was not possible, because there is NO WAY a Delorean could ever hit 88mph.


anyway, hybrids are dumb, diesel FTW.

I'd rather have a diesel any day of the week than a hybrid; and when I say diesel I mean a proper diesel, 3 axles 8 tons, 2 gearboxes with 16 ratios and a crawler and a massive 12 liter straight six diesel engine, but then again, that's just my opininon on diesel.

deuce and a half count? always wanted one...

Or a Lynn half-track. Factory that made those was not far from where i grew up, theres a few sitting around still, slowly rotting away. Think I remember hearing they got something like, 9 gallons to the mile. Yes, you read that right.

On Top Gear, they raced a hybrid around there track at top speed and an M3 drove beside it. The M3 got better MPG.
