     She was referring to a correction to a post on page 1.

     It depends on what the meaning of the words 'is' is.
     (One of the most inspired existential statements ever made by a president; or slick, but quite impressive in any case.)

   I like the folding car. My 2 car garage is almost full and this would fit.

   The submarine car is goofy, it goes too slow and you get wet!

     I agree. Getting soaking wet wiht your clothes on and having to wear SCUBA gear WHILE driving a car/boat under water is way to much work. And how does the water get out of the car once back on land ( including the instrument panels, etc.?) Weird.

     it would be better if it came with an emergency flotation device that can float the car up.

   The folding car makes perfect sence. Finding a parking space in a crowded city is a nightmare. I would drive one.

   Nothing new: I have seen cars fly off a cliff, float on the river below, and fold against a big rock on that same river. 🙂

   How about a folding car that flies and goes underwater...better ride a bike. if the folding thing gets hit by an 18wheeler in the express way it would fly all the way to the river and end up at the bottom of it. that pretty much does it!

   The folding car is stupid idea, first, it's not for comfort, second, it's not safe. third, all t hose folding mechanism will make the car's life span very short.

     How is it not comfortable (I am assuming you test drove one, so you have some actual knowledge and are not just talking out of your tail). Second, explain how it is not safe (See note one above, especially since they have testing certifications showing it is safe). And third, have you tested the folding mechanism or seen studies on it to who it will shorten the life span?

    The little folding car would be ok, but the price should be more like $5,000, not $16,000.

      Agreed, if we expect everyone to own one, but that is not their intention. They are trying to hit 2 areas, one of the being congestion, and that is being addressed by having fewer vehicles, by people sharing them. The idea is that you leave the vehicle open so that someone else can use it.

    Ho hum, ho hum. More useless and unrealistic concept cars that will never see mass production. Hello, could we create something truly useful?
