I used to think that expensive sports cars where example of great design but now I think they are what you get if money spent is not considered, now my attitude is show me what you can do for $15000 and make it get 50mpg doing it. Now that would be an accumplishement!
a homemade $15000 high MPG car would be AWESOME!
