Topic: Future Lemons car for Speedycop's kid

This monstrosity should fit in a Lemon's budget by the time Speedy's offspring is fielding mechanical nightmares on racetracks. He should also have all the bugs worked out of the 4 wheel steer design, so making it turn will be a piece of cake. The only problem to solve is what motor to run. I'm thinking a fossil fuel swap will be sufficiently retro by then to work....

That car actually runs, so Jeff wouldn't be interested.

That WOULD be a nice change, though, having something that already runs...

Yeah but then you wouldn't have anything to spend your limitless energy on.
