    The red one has batteries that pump charge at a stoplight or as it rolls downhill.

    It also does 100 kph +.

    I cant help thinking that a totally composite shell would answer the safety needs and weight constraints better than a metal grid.

    I agree. Same thing could be said about my Chevy I suppose. But I don't think I would have been able to afford it, so if Chevrolet had done that I might have had to aim lower and get an AUDI.

    Doukhobor --> Canadian Prairies
    According to what's seen in the pictures the practical outcome of Peter Verigin's Doukhobor doctrine means, men steer and women pull . . :rolleyes:

    P.S. - - Just read above linked page further and found this explanation for the few men pictured...

    These seems to be modern day followers of Peter Verigin's Doukhobor doctrine . . .

    This started off as a cruise ship, but because of stability issues it was put on land

    Deep down in Stockholms' underground (US: subway) system, on the Blue line, Fridhemsplan station..
    This beautiful old boat sits sadly in a glass box, dreaming of old times, out on the sea.. (?)
    Few people even glance at it, running to catch their trains, or too
    busy following social feeds on their smartphones..
