Making it work wonderfully well - kudos! But the idea and even the useable consumer product have been around for some time.

Letterman knows way more about this stuff than he's letting on... thats just his entertainment game face for a short 10 minute interview and trying to add humor and appease the majority. No, I'm not a fan of Letterman and haven't watched a Late Show episode in 10 years but give the guy a breather. I used to listen to gearhead Dave Despain years back when he was the F1 info goto program. Gags me to think they now all talk Crashcar.
Angela, by the way if you ever meet Letterman ask him about Volvo wagons. He and the late Paul Newman were into hot rod 'sleeper' Volvo wagons with a bit of rivalry.
