Quote quiz
Two questions.
1. Who wrote it?
2. What car did he or she build?
The quote:
"Some time ago, it occured to me that the motor car as we see it today is a wasteful product, in that large proportions of available horsepower are wasted in overcoming head-wind resistance and, having done that, in drawing forward the vehicle against the pull of the air as it closes in behind the rear of the car.
"Indeed, with the exception of a few specially streamlined racing cars, in my opinion conventional motor vehicles must be regarded as unscientific objects from the point of view of economical propulsion."
