I'm back home and finally near an decent internet connection.

I've been in a car with a 2-year-old, and driven through 6 different states in the last 18 hours!

Got your tar and feathers ready still? Because you are going to hate me! (Feathers are extremely flammable, just do you know. They used to cut them, and fill the hollow quill with gunpowder for lighting cannons!)

I never said that what I was talking about was a car, or even related to the automotive industry.

In fact, people posting references to trains and submarines have been the closest so far. What's amazing is that industries OTHER than automotive have ALSO really been taking to hybrids, in some cases for fuel cost savings, and in others for power.

So, yes, not a car. Think bigger and more powerful.

Hmm. Give me a minute, I'm trying to find a good photo and video provided by the manufacturer....
