Ford wants to Replace Sparkplugs with "Lasers"

This reminds me of one of the best scenes from Austin Powers:

Quote:
Dr. Evil: "You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads. Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that can't be done. Can you remind me what I pay you people for? Honestly throw me a bone here."
"What do we have?"
#2: "Sea Bass."
Dr. Evil: Riiiiight.
#2: "They are mutated Sea Bass."
Dr Evil: "Really? Are they ill tempered?"
#2: "Absolutely."
Dr Evil: "That's a start."
Are the auto companies that desperate? Wait...yes, yes they are. And possibly that evil.

My question is how will they keep the lenses clean?

Lasers. That's one tall ladder.
