How on Earth is that worth $83,000? I don't mean to say that it's an inappropriate way of spending that amount of money (well, maybe I am) but I really mean: HOW is it worth $83,000?! It's a couple of pounds of rubber!
I hate it when people post overly negative comments, but this thing is just so stupid. The inventor claims that speeds of 50 MPH are possible, but that’s pure rubbish. He’s apparently based that on the gear ratios alone, with no consideration the horrible aerodynamics, the moment of inertia of the needlessly gigantic wheels, or the tremendous weight of the contraption itself. I’m all for pursuing odd pursuits, but don’t try to tell me it’s some sort of design and engineering breakthrough when it’s really just a poorly considered pile of pipe.
I recall another from a few years ago: investorsexchange.com. It was supposed to be "Investors Exchange," but I read it as "Investor Sex Change." And there's a little shop in my hometown called Artscraps, which always looks like "Arts Craps" to me.
Aleki, I have a hunch you’re being a bit disingenuous. That’s generally understood to be a disparaging comment, akin to saying, “Doesn’t that person have anything better to do?â€
