Does anyone have a spare $170,000 for a soapbox?

Here's some pics and info on the Lotus $170,000 Soapbox - http://motortrend.com/features/news/...s030714_lotus/

It runs off an environmentally safe, non-polluting, odorless, and invisible fuel called: GRAVITY!!!

Give me 170.000.00 and I'll make one that looks just like it and....
AND add a little engine for all those up hill, non gravity situations.

And the purpose of Lotus developing this $170,000 car that needs to be pushed to the top of a hill or across flat surfaces is exactly what?

Seems Lotus had a way too much research and development cash laying around the office one day.
