At least our contribution to society isn't a bunch of hicks driving really fast in a big oval.
Your mom loves it
Word up homie.
What the hell ever. NJ'ers arent even trusted to pump their own gas.

Do some math and figure out how great a distance a vehicle going 70 travels in 20 seconds and conversely how little a distance one going, say, average 40mph in that 20 seconds. I don't know about NJ, but on-ramps down here don't have yield signs on them. Even if it seems clear to go, with a speed ramp up that slow you'd need a hell of a lot more clearance distance than if you drove a car with some pick-up. It's not truckers' faults a lot of the time when accidents happen.
fine, drop the national hwy speed limits
or make the things illegal to drive in those situations.
what exactly is your contribution to society?
the south has
BBQ
Fried Catfish
Corn Bread
The Blues
Rock N Roll
Gibson and Peavey Guitars
Disney World (and we used to have Nick studios)
Jim Henson
James Earl Jones
your mother
ok, to be serious again, I don't really care about HW driving conditions. HW driveing has never been a huge part of my life. I like to take 60 mph roads even on trips. You see more and it saves on Gas

You do no get Disney world, nor my Mother.
He's a list of some of what 1 NJian contributed. Now that's just 1 northern state compared to you pulling from multiple southern states.
electrical vote recorder
universal stock ticker
motograph
paraffin paper
carbon rheostat
carbon telephone transmitter
phonograph
Light Bulb
magnetic ore separator
motion picture camera
fluoroscope
nickel-iron-alkaline storage battery
synthetic carbolic acid
Just to name some things.
Well that's just fucking wonderful that you don't care about HW driving conditions, I guess since you don't no one else in the entire country should either. For most people in the country HW driving is a part of their life. Specially in a state like NJ, which happens to be the most densely populated state in the country. That's wonderful you can take your leisurely time everywhere you go, do you have a job?
While this thing is an interesting and cool design its just not practical for most people. I stand by my comment that 16 wheelers aren't going anywhere, that you're never going to be able to enforce lower speed limits (the speed limit is only 60 - 65 in most places and on pretty much all of them the average speed people are actually doing is much higher), and you can't build on-ramps that are miles long for people to build up to highway speed. This design is not the solution, turning to something like methane which is a renewable resource and can produce the same power with much better mpg than gasoline is.
I only care about that last one
BTW - The car looks cool. I'd drive it though.
