Maybe we should get together and make a show called THE CAR OF TODAY.

It bugs me a bit that programs like this always talk about cars that are coming, but they are too expensive or the batteries aren't quite right yet.

It's crazy that I can bolt together a cycle in my garage that is zero emissions, or that somebody can mod a Geo to get 100 MPG, but we can't go out and buy a really decent car.

We really need a Model-T of the Future, and I have the feeling it is going to come out of an ecomodder's garage.
