Oh man, I'm going to 'get some popcorn' and see what happens next!

I think I understand the 'never change the oil' a bit better. They say there's only two moving parts, but I'd never heard of a three-piece slipper bearing before. Doesn't that up the parts count 50%?

I read the Niquette story. That was awesome writing for an engineer.

Volkswagen sized? That sucker's 4' across and 5' long.

Edit: Maybe that is the 400 cubic inch version.
