Talk about over the top! The Eliica 8 wheeled electric (power by lithium-ion batteries) vehicle by Tokyo’s Keio University does 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, can reach a top speed of 230mph, and lastly sports gull wing doors for a dash of extra cool. We gotta wonder how long the battery lasts with those performance specs? Can’t afford the $260,000 vehicle? Then just download the paper cut out, assemble, and head to the medicine cabinet for a 260 cent band aid to mend those paper cuts.

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    Eight wheels?? Can you imagine the cost of alignments and unless you’re using recycled tires, it kinda defeats the purpose of not using oil since now you have you make twice the number of tires for one vehicle. The designers and auto makers are so far out of touch with reality. That is why they are hurting.
