Tata's air powered car is also kool.  Nice thing about it is it will also run on ANY  fossil fuel.  Been following it close to a year already.  I think this is what we need as consumers into the 21 centruy.  An any type of fuel car, or no fuel, just air, and the electrical bill to fill up the tank at home

We drive aircooled VW's...who's really worried about safety?

I'll bet that VW is an improvement in safety over my bug!

This is a prototype, and a 5 year old one at that.
