Set a course at Warp 2: Prius-class shuttlecraft in NY!
Who needs an Aptera?
I'm not even a Star Trek fan (one of my favorite jokes goes like this: "What do you call Star Trek fans? Trekkies. What do you call Star Wars fans? Cool."), but I am in love with this modified 2007 Prius. From the decorations on the sides and hood to the seat covers to the "If you can read this, our cloaking device must be broken again" bumper sticker, this thing just hits all the right buttons. The Federation-issue Prius is named the Zhang Heng (after a 1st century Chinese astronomer) and is the work of Dr. Willie Yee from New York. The good doctor has not only done up the decoration of the Enterprius to the hilt, but he's added functionality as well. On Dr. Yee's site (warning: Firefox crashes on my computer when I try to go there, but Safari seems to be able to handle it) we learn he's installed 2 omnidirectional 4-terawatt phasers somewhere on the car. Dr. Yee would like to remind us that phasers don't kill humans, Romulans do. And look at those moon caps. Cool.

does anyone realize that only 14% of ALL the C02 that goes into the atmosphere is from human made items? perhaps we need to stop everyone from breathing?

Don't confuse the CO2 exhaust with the rise in
CO2 concentration.
C02 EXHAUST is caused by all creatures that don't do fotosynthesis (animals). This is mostly compensated by other creatures that do fotosyntesis (plants).
The RISE in CO2 concentration comes from CO2 sources not linked to the food-chain, for example burning fossil fuels , for which humans are 100% responsible.
Great car by the way! Maybe with that design I could have convinced my wife to get a Prius...

Sebastian -- good find. Very funny site which I enjoyed.
Your artical forgot to mention how much you hate the war in Iraq, and I'm glad because it would have ruined an otherwise fun star-treky/ hybrid experience.
Caugh cough.

Romulans don't use phasers; they use disruptors.
