3/25/2008 7:34:29 PM

would you bet your life on it?

although...is the engine going to be wood too? I would think not, but he mentions that they wanted to have everything wood and got close to having the shocks metal, but then found the expensive wood for them...so I'm curious.

3/25/2008 7:36:24 PM

no

3/25/2008 7:36:47 PM

it's actually a wood-burning engine. whether or not it's more environmentally sound than gasoline is up for grabs.

3/25/2008 7:37:43 PM

^^^ no bu if you can make a combustible engine out of wood come and find me...

my question is wouldn't the would be to rickety, I know it's pressed veneers all vacuumed and shaz...? (if rickety is the right word for it...) I can hardly imagine it being as strong as carbon fiber, which is what the article says I believe.

^ well played

That dude was on here posting photos recently, or maybe Noen was posting them.

Anyway, this is the dumbest shit I've ever seen. It's not original or groundbreaking, all cars used to be made of wood. It was a poor material choice then, just as it is now. All this effort and brain power could have been used to actually develop something new and useful, but instead it was wasted.
