AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was in high school my sister tooled around in a 1972 Datsun. A cool little car. 40 mpg and indestructable. I was obsessed with Muscle Cars, especially my POS 1970 Chevelle. Loved to catch the drag races and smell the nitro. At the end, the dude got down to 11.5 seconds. Wow. Smokin...!

This brought back three decades of good memories in one clip. Thanks!!!!

Man, if only people could have gotten this stoked over electric hot rods in 1970, how different the world would be today.

I wish I could find it but someone once posted a bit where Henry Ford debated on progressing the internal combustion motor or an electric one. He obvious chose the former, but how much different would the world might have been had he chosen otherwise.

That reality probably exists in another dimension.

Additionally, think about that other dimension where Tesla's knowledge of the transfer of unlimited electrical power without cable is utilized.

Hope it all worked out well for them.

I wonder if those electric cars have any kind of ozone pollution.
