I wish it flew. It is a 3 wheel car that gets 80 mph and you can get all replacement parts at Pep Boys. It only costs 6800

No. It's a three wheeled, two passenger car that is advertising 80+ mpg. It's supposed to retail for less than $10K with all (the few) "bells & whistles" offered as upgrades. Brilliant idea, both from an engineering and marketing standpoint. Noory had the company president on a year it so ago, he was extremely impressive.

I intend to buy one of them, but I also intend to wait for a model or two.

Probably a smart thing to wait. If I indeed get one I will give an update. I still not sure when I would recieve the car if I reserved one now.

I decided I wanted one as soon as I heard about it, which was five years ago.

Although in fact, I wanted one as soon as I saw one, which was here:

I would also like some cheesecake in the sky. Coin flip which comes first.

I'm not an authority, but you're not the only one interested, and we're all still waiting. Can you get me a sandwich while you're up? My feet ache. Thanks. Put a little mustard on it!
