    Sure it may help with an ecological problem, but it doesn't address a humanitarian problem. [en.wikipedia.org]

    I just hope like hell nobody shows up with a peanut butter-powered car. The inevitable carnage will be deadly. Delicious, but deadly.

    I think I'll be going to the farmer's market this weekend so I can start making my own F3 car. Maybe I can use my connections at Morley Candy Company to get some Sanders Swiss Dark Fudge Topping.

    I chose Swiss Dark because that seems to be the most popular with the ladies. I want to be able to say I have PM Fuel.

    @engineerd: Pick up some Jordan almonds and maybe you can build an F1 car. I doubt it will be trulli competitive, though.

    If it needs unleaded chocolate they better not get it from China.

    The last report on this [jalopnik.com] stated that it wouldn't be competing because the chocolate based fuel was not F3 approved. Any word on what changed since then?

    @TimTim: "The F3 car, known officially as the WorldFirst but affectionately as the Flying Carrot, has been permitted to enter an F3 race at the Formula Ford Festival, despite not exactly confirming to the sport's technical regulations."

    They probably let it in because it's bringing them a lot of popularity. I, for one, didn't even know there WAS an F3...

    Thanks.

    I've heard of F3, but that's about it.

    Your F3 car is the second racer to be constructed from carrots. My racer is the first!

    Looks like a race car, sounds like a race car, smells like a... chocolate bar? They've found the perfect way to attract more women to the sport of racing.

    Well, since carrots are carbon based, you can kind of say it's made of carbon fiber, right?

    Peppy little car, too. I bet it could get from the Pizza Queen to the Joe Louis sculpture in under 3 seconds.


    /knows the test drive was in the basement, but can't think of any landmarks downstairs.

    BYD is a battery company that bought its way into car manufacturing, so maybe it'll stick with batteries. Warren Buffet invested in them.


    Indeed, some car buyers will go for a crummy battery pack rather than the 10-year lifespan in current hybrids to save $$$ upfront. Just like teh morans who buy alkalines in bulk instead of investing in rechargeables.


    BTW, the price of replacement Toyota and Honda battery packs has dropped, they're lasting longer than expected, and relatively few have required replacement under warranty ([www.nytimes.com]).

    @skierpage: if warren buffet invested in them... i think we can trust them to be around for a while/do well...


    the man owns a giant rotating disc to turn his limo around in his garage.... is there anything that we should really question about the man (and yes, his clothing style is off limits)
