From the philadelphia auto show in Feb, five high school kids made a biodiesel sports car that can do 0 - 60 in 4 secs, and gets 50 miles to the gallon.

That's awesome, though I wish there was some more info on the car.

Also the name "Cheeseborough" is now officially the coolest name ever.

Huh? Here's what he actually said:

Quote:
"They're making billions upon billions of dollars," he says. "And when this car sells, that'll go down — to low billions upon billions."
He was actually making a joke about how rediculously rich the oil companies are.

He's getting straight A's so he's definately passing English. I'd say he's pretty easy to understand for an innercity X-Gang Member.
