1) Add-ons must be free of charge. All add-ons must be distributed free of charge. Developers may not create "premium" versions of add-ons with additional for-pay features, charge money to download an add-on, charge for services related to the add-on, or otherwise require some form of monetary compensation to download or access an add-on.
You'll note that the paid addons are for quest assistance.
You'll note that Brian Kopp (previously featured on slashdot) is now making cash by selling an ingame version of his guide, me thinks this is retribution.
Also, as an addon author myself I can only say "Go ahead, turn off all your API's, see how that works out. I can farm other games".
You'll need to start with a velomobile, and add a complementary engine. Look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velomobile for ideas as to the construction, You'll need to use a dual chain pedal configuration and connect the engine/motor via freewheel to the jackshaft. Plexiglass and steel, A few cheap chinese bicycles and a few hours work. Or just buy one: http://www.aerorider.com/
Of course your local laws are going to impede you. As with the pocket motorcycles of years ago, Small engine vehicles are normally not road legal so you'll need to go electric drive. Check your state laws, They'll normally have a maximum wattage.
For the peices you'll need to buy there are lots of options;
Frame: Pre-manufactured recumbent tricycle, You'll want a 'tadpole' design, Greenspeed and Catrike are normally available in the US. Custom Frame, You'll need two relatively similamr bikes. I used a 24" 18spd Mtn bike and a 16" kids' BMX.
Shell: Fiberglass, Custom layup normally with a wooden core. Carbon Fibre, Very spendy. Plexiglass, You shape it with heat and paint the inside.
(of course you can combine the frame and shell into one peice, but that's not really for beginners)
Geartrain: Whatever comes with your bikes, Cheap and easy. High end Shimano, You're looking at serious money. I didn't choose this option.
Motor: Most people go with 250w, But my state allows 750w. You'll need one normally used in electric pocket motorcycles like the 'Razor PR200' or from an electric wheelchair. These are not normally very efficient.
Motor Controller: Very important peice, It must be rated for the voltage and amperage you plan to use it at. http://www.4qd.co.uk/ makes some very nice ones.
Batteries: More options than you want to know, I chose SLA batteries normally used in electric wheelchairs from a local vendor.

I'd like this idea if you mentioned TORCS.

Anybody know where that is?
it's called a velomobile.
you can send my consulting fee via PayPal.
Except the mods come from third party sites Blizzard has no control over. All they're doing is shooting their fans.
Try google, I heard people use it to understand things, normally before they speak loud and ignorantly.
No one sees the addons website. Most addons are installed and distributed by a third party tool that's very keen on keeping its' money.
Oh, so you like to remove choice from the marketplace, interesting. Have fun in your Volkswagen.

You fail.

The only remote possibility would be a user downloading an *.exe from a non-mainstream site, then running it without out first checking it out.
I know of no mainstream addon site that allows *.exe
Just admit it, your powerleveler stole your account.
You're not actually communicating with their servers, addons can't get out of the sandbox. Think about it like running a widget on your desktop.
Fail. Addons can't steal passwords.
Christ, I thought you were just big headed since I've never heard of your addon.

(balance this with Auctioneer, which has a paltry 12 million downloads..)
Exactly, Blizzard derives increased value from users taking the time to level a second character due to QuestHelper. Many users use Auctioneer. While those are free with exceptional support there are also many that are not free such as Zygors' Guides ($50), Carbonite ($2.50/mo), Brian Kopp's Guide/Addon ($59.99), Joanas' Levelling Guide ($77), and QuestUp ($47).

This one uses a 34cc injected four-stroke. A weedwhacker engine with MegaSquirt probably.
It's very simple actually.

http://www.evconvert.com/ Can teach you how to build the electrics
http://www.velomobiles.net/ can show you some people who have built velos.
Reduce it to it's component parts and anything is easy to build.
