Hey... it's not done yet. FWIW( For What It's Worth), I'm planning on having my final incarnation having a hatch like Basjoos' Aerocivic, an air assist rear suspension to help with extra weight( a la Mike Dabrowski's http://99mpg.com/Projectcars/TheBestHybridmix/) because I always use my cars like trucks, and hopefully a rear window. All this with room to sleep on long trips( like, say Bonneville, UT).

Looking forward to where this takes you.
