my bad it wasn't electric...it was hydrogen powered.

a corvette still had all of it's normal performance and ran 450 miles on water.

but it does drive a point home that i was makin at work today...maybe the whole save the environment thing would catch on if they didnt make electric cars so gay looking...obviously it isnt hard to throw a hot body on one so whats the big deal? why not make one cool looking at least? lol...they can make it with big speakers and give you a mustang sound cd to blast
