MIT Offers City Car for the Masses
MIT's stackable electric car, a project to improve urban transportation will make its debut this week in Milan. "The City Car, a design project under way at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is envisioned as a two-seater electric vehicle powered by lithium-ion batteries. It would weigh between 1,000 and 1,200 pounds and could collapse, then stack like a shopping cart with six to eight fitting into a typical parking space. It isn't just a car, but is designed as a system of shared cars with kiosks at locations around a city or small community."
Believe me, they really aren't interested in how many times you went to the comic shop for Magic cards.

Efficient? Our cars gets great mileage! It's those damn terrists who are to blame for high gas prices!
Parking? That's why God invented valets!
What is it with these liberals who think we need all this socialized transportation? Next thing you know they'll have affordable personal computers for impoverished nations. Which will only help the terrorists win!

Strange, I've reported things to the police before, they didn't treat me like a suspect. I'm willing to bet that they wouldn't start fining people who report the problem as a matter of course - they're more likely to look up the renter before them and fine them. Just as easy and doesn't punish people who report things
Ah, you are probably white, then. You white folks enjoy your little cars. I'll stay away from them.
