That thing looks very strange, like some sort of exotic insect.

The only way to describe it is ugly. I wouldn't be caught dead driving one of those.

Sure, I just don't remember it from when it was originally on the air. TBS used to play reruns when I was a kid. The movie was hilarious (not the modern one but the old puppet one), there was a fish torpedo in it.

That just more than proves the fact that if a teacher and some kids can make a car that doesn't depend on gas, there is a bigger reason for us not doing it. Freakin government...piss me off. :)

G4 Used to show reruns LATE at night, Like 12:30 AM, And I'd stay up just to watch it. Of course, That's when it was still TechTV.

LONG LIVE TechTV.
