Maybe kevlar is a better value than carbon fibre?, our canoe seems pretty tough anyways!
My big idea is a 2 person inline tricycle. Using an aluminum(or fibreglass) canoe upside down as the body and chassis. A long low glassed in cockpit, some out rigger faired wheels out front, maybe just a motorbike engine and transmission in the back and away you go. $2500 in materials and maybe 100mpg at 80mph?
Maybe see if you can design something like that before you go for the ultimately engineered electric car? Less exciting I guess but it would still be a challenge to get right.
