Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.  ~Ernest Benn
The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn.  The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it.  ~P.J. O'Rourke

A note about character and world creation

Character and world creation are a form of expression. The point is that some people don't have much to say...

a diesel-powered machine that should hit 200 mph while returning 69 mpg on a variety of fuels.



It's going to get 69MPG at 200MPH?

If the car weighs like 2,000 lbs it is possible.
Possible to get 69 mpg.  It won't get that at 200 obviously, due to how hard the engine will be running at that point, aerodynamic drag, gear ratios and other factors.

It says it'll go 2000 miles on a tank of gas at 70mph. Assuming that it can get 69mpg at that speed, that means it has a ~29 gallon tank. Diesel weighs about 7.1 pounds per gallon, so just the weight for fuel would be ~500 lbs.

You trying to get OTTer-points?



With the company taking orders next month and vowing production by the end of the year with a starting price of $119,000, we'll see how sharp this Trident is soon.
