Yeah, well, if I did that, then I wouldn't NEED one, lol. I woudn't be going anywhere that I could actually DRIVE one. Besides, I don't think ORANGE JUMPERS are a good color match for those sports cars, LOL.

When you start reading that you are like WOW that is amazing the next thing you know you see the price and the excitement just flitters away...

Sounds awesome! Too bad the price tag is way to high for me.

can't wait to see this in production.

Doesn't matter whether or not all that information is real because nobody can afford one anyway. Next they'll announce it'll run off ground-up pastries and can fly you to Mars in five seconds.

The price tag is way too heavy for anyone. Hybrid is still good compared to this one.
