Seems like a logical step, why didn't I think of that?

DivideBYZero · 09-02-2013, 04:00 PM

Yeah, that is very cool. Saw it on The Verge earlier.

Uncheck box if going to get full suspension upgrades.

Next thing you know they will come up with ways to use exhaust gas and reclaim the lost energy expelled from a running engine.

"As ZF points out, the effect is most powerful when traversing significantly battered roadways, something we have no shortage of"

So, this thing works best with lots of potholes. In fact, the more potholes the better!! The highway fixers are all in on this one, I'm sure
Goofy. Real goofy.
