Great collection of posts and thanks for recognizing the ethics issue. We are starting the discussion on what, if any, standards should be developed. Please weigh in.
Hope this helps someone – Citizenship and immigration – emigration to usa and canada, immigration laws, passport service

That is a lovely car but I’m curious if somebody will actually buy it. I personally feel better if I know that there is some power under the hood.

If it weren’t so pointed and flight of the navigatorish it would be a great vehicle but from the view it looks like a one person car for some movie hero change my mind let me test drive it for a month see how it really handles

My wife and I are very interested in the vehicle. Does it have air and heat? Does it have radio, cd, other access to entertainment. How is it viewed by auto insurance companies?
Please keep us informed of availability and where it can be seen in person. How does it do on climbing hills? Thanks!!!
