How much spare money and time do you need to have where one day you are sitting down and think to yourself "I want to strap a rocket to my ass and fly around faster than a car.?" Though then again, according to George Carlin Thats how flame throwers were created.

"The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."...George Carlin

@Bullitt417: What does the existence of the Volvo water cannon prove then?

"You know, I want to spit water at a high velocity, but I can't blow out enough air..."

@Bullitt417: I don't have the time or money, but I've often thought, "I want to strap a rocket to my ass and fly around faster than a car."

Too bad the time and money are required to fulfill that dream.

You'd rather have the Focus? Are you sure this isn't Diddles posing as Matt? They must have some good crack down there in Texas.

@Ln th Jlpchck: I agree with them. You see, when the Focus runs out of gas you don't drop like a rock. If I'm gonna have a personal flight device, I want some dang wings!

@strllng plyr: Dude there aren't enough hearts in the world to click for just how awesome you are in my book for throwin' in an ekranoplan. The only way it can get any better is if you throw some torpedo tubes on it!

Oh, right. Okay, then add in some bacon and forged pistons, and THAT will be the only way it can be improved!

Both are motivated by hydrogen peroxide--one as fuel, the other in the search for girls who use too much of it in their hair.

How to solve America's automotive manufacture problems?

Get Government out of the way and allow them to sell all europian versions here. we get things like Focus RS and a 31-50mpg (city-highway) PT Cruiser.

@zeeboid: I was with you up to PT Cruiser. That piece of shit wouldn't be worth it if it got 1000mpg.

@zeeboid: I've driven the turbo model and I still found it to be underwhelming.
