I like the pizza cutter front wheels, as if youre going to be able to just turn the steering wheel and its going to track right where you want it to. I would love to see some video of someone testing it.

Reminds me of the urban legend where the guy straps the surplus rocket engine to the roof of the car out in the desert: It all went well until the 90 degree turn a few miles down the road....

The angle of the engine should give some turning authority to the front wheels. Probably just about enough to allow the high thrust center to radically overpower the roll center with predictable results. Wonder where he found an abandoned runway to do the test run?

Too funny. As a kid, I watched a friend try and run his small bore Harley on rocket fuel. He never got it started. Lucky for him.
