'"Our drive toward the future is called hydrogen," BMW management board member Burkhard Goeschel said before the tarp slowly slipped off the teardrop-shaped body of the sleek race car.' All I want to know, does it come with an iPod hookup?"
It wasn't an uninformed remark, it was a joke. Try laughing, it will do you good.
Or I could "purposely" use your comment as a segue to announce that I drive a BMW...a '79 320i that cost me $350 ^_^

Since everyone who has said this exact thing is getting modded up informative, I think I'll add another...
It wasn't the hydrogen, it was the paint.
Oh and by the way, it wasn't the hydrogen; it was the paint used on it.
I'm suprised nobody has mentioned using oil from vegatables to power a vehicle. Granted this might not be a long term solution, if you could get it to be somewhat the same power as running on gasoline it could give us time to develop hydrogen or what ever while not using our oil. Thus lessing our dependancy on the middle east for petroleum products Some Links:c onomy/
