Why don't you ask them to stick an number plate and a set of lights on it if it makes you feel better....

@2001supermat It's not as big as an airplane, that vechicle alone is not even as big as an airplane engine. This thing could get from Maine to California in like 4 hours

If that thing hit you it'll be the worst death scene ever -_-

Nobody ever said it was a "car", it simply broke the " land " speed record. It doesn't have to be a car or truck or anything like that as long as it travels over the ground and no the air.

Super fast - Going faster than the sound of your own engines at ground level is pretty damn insane. I'd shit my pants riding in that thing-. Though i'd love to have actually been there though to watch, -preferably to catch the breeze from a rocket on wheels flying past me!
