Compressed-Air Car Nears Trial 173
DeviceGuru writes "Air France and KLM have announced plans to conduct a six-month trial of a new zero-emission, compressed-air powered vehicle. The AirPod seats three, can do 28 mph, and goes about 135 miles on a tank of compressed air. Motor Development International, the vehicle's developer, expects the AirPod to reach production by mid-2009, and to sell for around 6,000 Euro. Initially, it will be manufactured in India by Tata Motors, and distributed in France and India."

Siphoning the first half would be easy. The second half would be ...interesting.

But on the other hand when the AirPod runs out of compressed air the driver only needs to get a blow job to keep on going.
That's a seller right there.

and personally I'd ease up and shove one of these little annoyances out of my way.
I was taking you seriously on your other comment, but now I'm wondering if you are just an Internet Tough Guy(TM)
