I read a story about Jay driving his in traffic. It was pretty comical. He said that he was sitting at a stop light, and noticed a lexus pulled up right behind him. After a minute or so when he looked in his rear-view mirror, he noticed that the exhaust from the turbine, melted in the front bumper of the lexus behind him. He then pulled gently away as if nothing happend. | ||

From reading the popular mechanics article, riding this thing sounds like a great way to kill yourself. after you let off, it keeps accelerating for a few seconds. | ||
