Maxwell. I did a bunch of research on them at the library and cannot get them out of my head. Even though I am a respectable suburban mom now. ;) My husband has promised that we will do the kit car one day (I sure can't afford $1M plus for a real one) and drop in a screaming motor. My Monza stalled every time I came to a stop. It was my test car. If I could survive it, I got a real car. And they made good on that deal too. The next year I got a 1985 Pontiac Fiero. Man, I loved that car. And I got to watch the Monza be crushed into a blue cube too. :) And, depending on who you trust, the metro DC area is either the worst or the second worst traffic in the US. So rockets ... it's a dream of mine and a nice fantasy at that. Chris C,

You guys must be driving on the same roads I drive. Oh. My. Gosh. The hashtag for that would be #lousydriversincitethoughtsofmurder I’m sensing a theme with these rockets, paintball guns, and machine guns. You guys must be driving on the same roads I drive. Oh. My.

Amazing what technology can do for the old internal combustion engine!
