the other nice thing about onboard hydraulic recovery from the exhaust/brakes, is you can feel less guilty about power steering (and it should work for a looong time with the engine off) Might as well power the brakes w/it too(if/when necessary). I'll stop short of mentioning active suspension But a hydraulic starter and next to no battery might be interesting too.
