Jay Leno's Ecojet

Did anyone catch the program on Discovery.

He and a few sponsors built a one off jet car. It runs on bio-fuel. I think it is the coolest thing since sliced bread. The sound it awesome for a car.

There was a program on the Speed Channel a couple nights ago about that car, very cool stuff. Might have been the same program?

Freaking sweet! Takes a little of the coolness factor away on his entrance when he takes multiple shots at backing in. And still parked crooked.

I dunno. I'd get tired of that noise in a hurry. And bio fuel is probably harder on the world than petro fuel - except for the small amount of used cooking oil that is recycled as bio-diesel.

Nothing compares to the Ford Nucleon:



Yes, that IS a nuclear reactor in the trunk...I'd hate to get into an accident with this thing.
