    I learned to hate the Th!nk when I was in Norway. They were always so quiet so I didn't really notice them while I was walking around. It got better with headphones on because I then looked for cars more often rather then relying on my ears.

    I still wonder if this car will ever reach the mainstream as a product you can go out and purchase in major North American cities. I got to go for a ride in a Th!nk all the way back in 2001 that would have been perfectly acceptable as a city runabout.

    Nothing can exceed the excellence of recommending Hammond put a sock in it. Except maybe recommending Clarkson put a sock in it.

    I once drove a car, or should I say, it once drove me...

    It had lots of room, who would th!nk that was good? norwegians would


    It ran out of juice and began to drive like a slug,

    So I looked around and I noticed there wasn't a plug.


    I called triple A, biding the hour, waiting for power

    It charged until two, and then he said, "You can go ahead"


    I drove for a while, and kept it under the limit.

    But one hundred miles was all the th!nk had in it


    And so I found out, I was far from home, this car could not roam

    So I hitched a ride, who'd take me out of this hood? norwegians would

    "..You will be spotted..." The English will love it then.


    But, electric or liquid fuel, imagine how many more drivers we'd be able to fit into our morning commute if all the drones were driving these instead of Canyoneros. We wouldn't need a new 12 lane bridge, we could even give one up for all the folk who want to choose 'alternative' methods of commuting.

    Who is Jeremy Clarkson? What is this "Top Gear" that you speak of? Is the Hamster really a hamster? And what the hell is a "Stig?" Do they hit you with it?


    These are the questions we will be answering as more and more Facebook users show up.

    Also, if they write something even remotely witty, it receives COTD. Don't ask me why, but it has something to do with contractual obligations, I think.

    Love the Ford Focus steering wheel, also found in the Gibbs Aquada amphibian, fact fans.



    The video was like Top Gear would be if it was produced by National Geographic.


    Loved the crowbarred-in Sex reference....
