So funny to see the oil powered cars vs the steam car - the steam engine wins!!

[ivankoran]

why the hell aren't cars today steam powered? cuz really, steam cars get about the same mileage and much more torque [not nearly as safe in a crash tho...]

@ivankoran

And that is with back then technology. Imagine what it would be like if we kept at it!

[ivankoran]

@dquad yeah, with stuff like computer controlled valves and carbon fiber boiler shells. these could quite possible be much better than gasoline cars.

not to mention that coal doesn't cost nearly as much per pound as gas ;)

[dquad]

@ivankoran Yup, even the expensive stuff is less than a quarter of the price of 91 in NZ.

@ivankoran

they*re not coal powered. they use gas. 

[ivankoran]

@Muhlineks I know, but they still use less gas than regular [internal combustion] cars

[only from that time period]
