IDK. I want a car that runs on ethonal, for starters. And cars that are sleek and lightweight. If I heard from news correctly, Goggle is doing precisely that.

This. I know it's kind of goofy looking, but that's not the point. It's a REAL TRANSFORMER!

Well, as real as they get, at least for now. It turns from a car into a plane!

Of course, one of these (below) would be my ideal vehicle! ;)

Ethanol, I assume...

There are since time immemorial.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat#Fiat_ ... .2C_Brazil

The Fiat 147 is a Fiat 127 that runs on 100% ethanol. Made by Fiat in Brazil, 1979.

also:
In 2006 Fiat introduced the Fiat Siena Tetra fuel, a four-fuel car developed under Magneti Marelli of Fiat Brazil.[41][42] This automobile can run as a flex-fuel on 100% ethanol (E100); or on E20-E25 blend, Brazil's normal ethanol gasoline blend;[43] on pure gasoline (though no longer available in Brazil since 1993,[44][45] it is still used in neighboring countries); or just on natural gas (CNG). The Siena Tetrafuel was engineered to switch from any gasoline-ethanol blend to CNG automatically, depending on the power required by road conditions.


Anyway, ethanol combustion in air still produces CO2, and NxOy ... hydrogen-oxygen cells just give off water.

Quattro S1, I reckon would be good in the CBD. Just about the only car I'd get because of what other people might think when they look at it.
“Every age and generation must be as free to act for itself in all cases as the age and generations which preceded it. The vanity and presumption of governing beyond the grave is the most ridiculous and insolent of all tyrannies. Man has no property in man; neither has any generation a property in the generations which are to follow.”

Whatever that is, it looks cramped. And, I'm pretty sure it could blast anything to bits with that much firepower.

It is a TKS tankette and obviously I would modify it to be a one man vehicle...

As to yours, the recoil from those guns firing would rip the turret off, making its first shot a kill shot on itself. Not to mention the weight would make it incredibly slow, meaning that an opposing tank (or unit armed with Anti-tank weapons) could easily maneuver into position to put a shot into the gap between the hull and turret, which is an almost guaranteed kill shot on any turreted tank.

Very poor handling when loaded. They become topheavy and prone to rollover.

Nuh-uh! They have excellent tweeters located near each wheel arch ;)

High speed handling can be a little twitchy. The manufacturer recommends placing large bags of frozen peas and other veg in the lower stowage bins before engaging in more aggressive driving habits.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

At a guess I'd say no more than two shots per gun, so more than they could possibly fire.
