looks cool, but someone forgot to install the tie rods! I take it it has 4 wheel independant steering. Is there a warning sticker that warns blondes not to operate it?

They are going to build them to be for sale. the wife works for one of the companies that does the wire harnessdesign and builds. D/C tried to get the non union people to work in the jeep office. last year. but they said it would cause to much probelms. She said that is the type she would be working on a two engined,4 wheel steering jeep. I guess as a concept car/show car it works. but they won't sell many. they just shut down the plant that builds them chevy srr retro pickups. seems they have like a 6 month sale supply. They have discounted them from about 42,000 to 31,000 bucks for a pick up that yopu can't put anything in the bed but the top. A local hummer dealer has new hummers for lease every year they have been built. A 16 year old girls was driving a hummer on I-75 a couple of weeks ago lost control rolled it and killed her 15 year old friend. you wouldn't believe it was a hummer froom what was left.

Yeah, some of these vehicles are too much. That retro Chevy is pretty cool looking, but it's way overpriced. It's not fast, nothing special to warrant the huge price. I wonder how many people who plop down the huge bucks for the smaller Hummer know they're getting a Tahoe with a different body. What a rip.
I can't see that Jeep being successful either. Too complicated. Too much stuff to go wrong. That steering had better be restricted to only work below 10 mph or something like that. It's an accident looking for a place to happen, on the street. Can you imagine the price tag on a vehicle like that??
All the hoopla about the electric cars and hybrids...they've flopped too. Several manufacturers have already dropped them. No one is buying. Yet others keep trying to develop them....

Here in DC, They sell hybrids like crazy because you get to ride single in the HOV3 lane. Next year they are going to eliminate that rule because they are making the lanes too crowded.
Everyones 30 grand just went up in smoke...Get back in the slow lane suckers, and smoke my V10's tailpipe. HAHAHaHA!
