It is worth repeating:
"It's all in the Tune"
Sorry lost all that in the kitchen blender stuff. But can we tune our cars to make the kind of power a modern v8 does and still make the MPG they do?
Electric cars open another bag of worms. I don't know if I want to be sitting that close to that powerful of an electro-magnetic field. I don't have kids now, but thats not to say I wouldn't like to have them in the future. Just think about what they say about cell phones.
