    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    My Harley does the same thing.

    Still this is a big achievement.

    That is incredible. Achieving performance of a 911 Porsche with the gas mileage of a hybrid civic. Maybe they should ship some of these kids out to Detroit to teach the CEO's of GM and Ford how to build vehicles.

    I hope they achieve their next goal. 100 mpg would be awesome.

    [sarcasm]The auto manufacturers are in cahoots with the oil and gas industry. Don't you know that this technology has been around for years and years but hasn't been let loose on the market yet? Geez....get with it folks.[/sarcasm]

    Seriously, congrats to these kids. I always love to see things like this out of students trying to do more than "make a grade."

    CEO's don't build or design cars. That's what engineers do.

    Yep. My father-in-law engineered at Corvett for years. Is now semi-retired but is considering taking a position with Ford in improving their F-150's. Hope he does, I will be needing a new truck in a couple of years.

    LOL....I used to drive some around the test track there in Bowling Green on occasion and my wife's dad could bring one home to drive anywhere...it was fun. But as far as owning one I wouldn't. I'd have the thing tore up pretty quickly out here where I live.

    Cool, but now can they find a place to park their super hybrid?

    Thank you CaptObvious.... but it is obvious the CEOs are not learning from their engineers which cars are the best to bring to market. Hence my suggestion that they be shown how to build a truly innovative car.

    No thought of it having anything to do with me .. just a note that says you're not completely insane .. close, but not completely.

    It's a lesson that should be replicated over and over again.
