ummm… weren’t cars supposed to be simple (at least, their engines were)!? i think NEITHER is that “simple!”

My next car will be a diesel-generator + 2/4 electric motors for the wheels, with a small battery pack that only has to last 10 miles.
Then a tank will last me at least 3 months, unless I do a road trip.

Meanwhile, I have to live with the very low MPG of my Prius, by comparison to a diesel hybrid. At least it’s fun to drive, I get lots of “free” miles gliding (the fun part).

The not-so-fun is the monthly visit at the gas station. The 2009 plug-in option upgrade Toyota will offer us will help though.

This is a 1990 Volkswagen Golf, a rather simple car. Imagine a more modern car with airbags everywhere, powered everything, sensors, wiring, etc.!

BTW, how come the door handles are attached??

That is a great photo. Whoever set up the parts did a painstakingly super job. Look at all the parts lined up in a perfectly straight line. It must have been a very tedious process to position all those components.

I had to double-take as it looks exactly like a model kit.

Do you realize that if you added up the price of those parts individually, you couldn’t afford the car?

That’s why smaller cars are not cheaper correspondingly, there are as many parts in a small car as a big one… They are just smaller…
