One word, kid, plastics. That was the advice given to Benjamin Braddock, recent grad and schupper of proto-MILF, Mrs. Robinson in "The Graduate." What if he'd listened? What if he'd finished his PhD in materials science, moved to Switzerland, took a job with Bayer, and created a strong, lightweight, transparent plastic that Rinspeed tapped to build a transparent roadster called the eXasis. Now, in Geneva, he could look through the eXasis's sheer body and wonder if that's really what his parents' friend was talking about after all.
