    Doing the math, it looks like that thing pulls almost 1.4 Gs in a 0-60 run, enough to briefly convert her from D to A.

    I'd love to see the un-edited version...or the outtakes.

      It'd be fun to see video of the writing staff working on this stuff. How many automotive double entendres can you think of?

    Gear Girl is hot, but not very intelligent (or at least acts that way in front of the camera)...

      @Ronnie Schreiber Considering the types of films Ms Carrera starred in, I would think she was unfortunately very insecure about many things, beyond her intelligence. Imagine if her smarts had been put to use, rather than her just being a, um, adult-film celebrity. But she probably made more money doing that than anything else she could've done, so that is smart, right? :/

    Wow! America discovers LNG! Normal "gasoline" engines can run on it.No more ethanol! No more imported oil. Only took about twenty years to catch up. What will really happen though, is that the US gas producers will sell it off to the Japanese and drive the local price up to a point where it is uneconomical to power a car on it.
