<< William Taylor Do you mean Howard Hughes? What did he do to a steam car? How old are you?

I remember that in a Howard Hughes film biography, his engineers were trying to reinvent the steam car. [1940s I think.] They suceeded only be putting radiators in the car doors. Howard had the car reved up for a while and then took an ax and threw it at the car door. "We are not going to cook our passengers. Scrap the project." [Or something to that effect.] The point of the story being it seems that nobody thought of taking an ax to a compressed air car.
