"Oh Karl, new project for you!" (regarding steam powered something or other...)

Give me time!

With more modern technology available to us today, a steam powered engine should be much more efficient, safer and lighter than the ones in the past. How about sawdust and/or corn cob pellets with auto feed? Bamboo grows pretty quickly. With my new design for a rooftop bamboo-stalk solar dehydrator my creation should be lean, green and not as obscene as what the car companies are trying to foist on us (with government subsidies and kickbacks, etc.).

Just wait.

this is freakin insane!!!!!!!"

Maybe if they installed more power glove compartments and perhaps a rooftop cappuccino set? More electronics and more weight would help, right?
