John, I guess my question on switching was really directed at the lag if you floor the thing to get on a freeway or pass someone. The gasoline engine can't switch on and off, I would assume. And I wouldn't think it could have two separate drive systems so must operate similar to a diesel electric locomotive. Right?

I'm going to have to find an article on this car because it sounds like it could make a good car for going to and from work in.

I agree with what Tim Robbins said in "Mission to Mars": "Internal combustion. Accept no substitutes."
