Rob M, I agree with you on the report. It was kind of biased to make the oil industries look bad. But, even if the car is a kit car (I highly doubt that if the kids that built this car, did have the funding behind them). They could built a car from scratch thats asking way too much... Remember these are high school students.

These kids did put in more effort then the auto industry was done in years. and the kids should receive some kind of applause or a scholarship (to father their education)...

Remember folks the engineers/mechanics are Highschool kids not automotive industry designers/mechanics/engineers. They went way beyond the call of duty.
