Stumbled across this earlier and figured the GRM crew would enjoy.

Couple of those are very interesting. The army used to have a vehicle called the Gamma Goat that resembled the GM Sidewinder, had a bad reputation of rolling in certain conditions.

This site is GREAT! I love all the aborted concept cars that are on there, especially the GM ones like this one:

The Pontiac Pursuit

And I love the writing so far:

I know, right?

What the hell were they thinking? It's…it's shaped like what, a suppository? Pregnancy test? Its lower door line seems to have been inspired by soft serve ice cream, and there are at least 40 buttons on its steering wheel.

I forgot about the Nascar edition F-150, internet claims only 3000 of them were made. I guess most were sold in Arkansas, because I used to see them all the time.

This is wild

Bonovsky.com said: Of course they were. They had to be, as this was one serious machine. The turbine had alternators in it, and ran on natural gas, and spun up to 100,000 rpm. And then, somewhere under its skin, there was a 520 kg (1147 lb) flywheel system (including shielding, of course) that spun to 58,000 rpm. Engineers claimed it'd all fit under the fairing of a Formula 1 car… But to say the car was complex is an understatement—the flywheel operated in a vacuum, fer chrisseaks—and would ultimately lead to the project's undoing. Internal pressures from management and other sources, plus the project's technical difficulty, means that the Patriot is still owned by Chrysler… So my gift to you today, on Oh Holy New Leaked Photos Of Toyota Prius Hybrid Day, is a little bit of fire for the comments section:
