On a car I rented not to long ago, a recent-year Chevy Corvette... when the drive walked away with the keys (say to go pay for gas in a gas station store), the passenger reported being trapped in the car. Electric windows, electric doors (which to open required the electric window to roll down about a centimeter). Perfect car for trapping an angry girl-friend and coming back to a broken window. This is also a point that usually comes up when I watch movies where a car plunges into a river... Another somewhat related point is EMP-proof vehicles. Seems a nuclear steam car would be the perfect solution... but from what I hear about commercial nuclear energy generation, they take a while to ramp up or down (which is why they use coal for peak loads, I believe)... so this idea might have the same long-startup time that the Stanley Steamer had. I guess all the carburetor folks are winning from that perspective currently. _______________________________________________ dorkbotpdx-blabber mailing list [email protected] http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/dorkbotpdx-blabber
