Leave to a Chinese chick. A very cool idea, if they can make it work. The video is well done and fun to watch.

I like cars.

I like them in the abstract. In the real world, not so much.

Abstract, NM. I think Interstate 40 runs through there.

Am I the only one that saw the vehicle that runs off of the "minerals of the Earth" blow an aluminum can as it passed by? Vectored thrust?

I saw it. It's supposed to use a magnetic field that reacts with ferrous metal in the ground to levitate and propel. Apparently either the soda cans in China aren't made of aluminum or the creators of the video overlooked the fact that an aluminum can wouldn't react to it.

I'm trying to figure out what opens and closes the doors. All I saw was a small hinge, but no actuating mechanism, not even a door lock. The blue light emitted from the magnetic propulsion system seems a little hinky. I think this lady was an Art Student learning computer graphics.

I think it's still just a concept and the video was made using CGI :shhh: ;)

I was under the impression they were talking about a hair cut but I've already watched it twice and and can't figure it out.

Not too hard to figure out, I don't think. The designer is a young woman. Thankfully, the Good Ol' Boys Club is finally on its way to hell where it belongs.

IMHO they think the bald "announcer" is a woman. I'm guessing by his dress and Adams Apple that he is not.

I would have never guessed that anyone would have thought the announcer was a female. His mannerisms reminded me of the American guy who hosts, "Pinks." A drag race show where guys race for pink slips.
Time to get those eyes checked guys. Maybe get your libido checked while you're at it. Maybe question your own sexuality. Maybe just get laid and get away from the computer.

The bald announcer looks like a man. They keep saying their daughter. I'm assuming they are saying the announcer is their daughter. I have no idea what kind of sexist bullshit Kelli is going on about.

I thought the concept of the car was cool, and was glad to see a young lady as the designer. I also thought a happy thread would be a nice diversion from many of the others that turned ugly, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo .

Maybe I need a little vacation. Bye

I think the sexist bullshit that Kelli is going on about, is something she made clear. She thought a couple of guys here were saying that the daughter of the couple in the car was a boy.
Before we all get our collective knickers in a twist, let's just understand that we have a misunderstanding going on.

OK, so I watched it again. This time I watched it to the very end. The announcer is not the daughter...... And is a man. So I was right the first time. It's still cool. I still like it... and a somebody needs to chill, the world is not out to get her.

Change your drawers. I know it's Winter and people don't really want to get out of their skivies long enough to wash them but I blame the GOP and the Tea Party Teabaggers. Not political at all here. We all know it's true. Let's just go back to our respective corners, get a drink of rum ( have two ) and come back to the middle of the ring, and RUMBA!

Yeah, well, everything is giving fusking kidney stones. I quit everything and eat rabbit food. Purina.
Started getting another one right after Christmas dinner. Finally passed it last Sunday. That was a small one and it HURT LIKE FUCK!

It's not the FAJITA that's giving you the stones. I need to tell you the best prevention for the build up of the crystals/sand in your kidneys. It involves FAJITA.

Struvite - You will actually see Jesus when you pass one of those

Do you drink milk? STOP
Do you drink tap water? Use one of those BRITA things

Drink plenty a shit load of fluids, FAJITA included.
When you go "TT", sit down (like a woman) and lean forward like you're tying your shoe. The more you have to "go" the better. This will flush out any sand that is rolling around in your Calyces (look it up). The small sand makes bigger sand that makes stones that make you scream bad words.


Drink, Drink, Drink


ETA: Your bill will be in the mail, I suggest you pay it. LOL

ETA#2: Switch off to the "Sex in a rowboat" beer. It will blow the hell out of your ADH (look it up) and will make you micturate (look it up) like a race horse.
