I been doing the same thing but with a different method. I bought a el-cheapo car name dodge neon 5 speeds 2005 that i drive relativelly slowly, at the time this car sold for cost and was the cheapest small car available at the time, 11 880$ plus 2 state tax.
Then the main method was to harrass, vindicate, provoke, ask, suggest, attack, thru blogs anyone to offer a free fuel car. Since then billions and billions and tons of regulations have been put to stop me from having my flying car.
The trick is to know that car manufacturers managers, high-financial managers, politicians, scientists are acting after reading general public opinions in blogs like this one. Only opinions and suggestions from blogs drive the real market, any ' officials ' press realease of official pr from any paid employees is a plain lie explaning why they have to starve you from your energies, it's simple as that even if it''s deadly.
