Some 6000 zero-emissions Air Cars are scheduled to hit Indian streets in August of 2008.
Because of the gas powered compressor that keeps the thing full of air?

If you run out of gas you may die of a heart attack trying to get to a gas station with a bicycle pump.

That looks like it could be lots of fun, but I'd think that it's got poor weight distribution for sand.


It's even got CVs from a 930
