Pretty awesome for this segment, especially considering the experience (which I will not talk about so Chris can!). @Bob Henry - Thank you! I hope you will join the community at www.local-motors.com. If you are willing to share your desires I think you will find more than a few designers who are willing to oblige and sketch up a few ideas. The options are unlimited - the Rally Fighter is just the first of many more C.O.O.L. cars to come from Local Motors :) Chris - thanks again!

I applaud and applaud Jay and his team. Big picture, what if you could have a fully designed, bare bones commuter vehicle that was like the VW 1 179 MPG vehicle? To keep the costs low the first versions could be stamped two part aluminum bodies instead of carbon fiber and a 5 point safety restraint system with roolcage instead of airbags and tech, but how many people would want that? It would probably get 100 mpg but it would be cheap! I don't know I just love this concept. This is something that people have been talking about for years but no one has ever done.
