When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Can i have one of these for Christmas PLEEEEZE
I don't really think you want one, very popular in the 70's I had access to one with a 430 cubic inch Oldsmobile, jet drive accelerates
like crazy to 60 MPH, then stays there. Burns gas at about 2 miles to the gallon. The worst part is the same boat, same engine, with V-Drive propeller
close to 100 MPH on the same amount of fuel.

IIRC clarkson did something on these and they have to slow down on the straight to have the acceleration to push through the bend.
