Sliver, right? Sharon Stone in the shower. Not sure who the heck else was in the movie. Maybe just Sharon Stone. No, wait, had to be someone behind the camera. Oh, well...
Interestingly enough, this has already happened (which may in fact be what you are alluding to). In the late 1970's in El Paso, TX, there was an inventer (Tom Ogle) who said he had a car that would get something like 100 mph or more, although I think that some more "reasonable" claims were in the 55-60 range. Drove it to Phoenix, AZ on a couple gallons of gas as I recall. Everyone said it must be fake, couldn't happen. I had a physics teacher at the time that gave extra credit to anyone doing a paper on what the minimum energy needed to move a car given certain assumptions.
Anyway, Ogle was found dead in 1981 of an apparent suicide. Conspiracy theories abounded. This was in my neighborhood, and I often went by the garage he worked at. I may have even met him once, but he was a few years ahead of me in school. There are patents of his device.
