Default bmw with flexible skin!!!

If any of you guys or gals are on itunes,there is an awesome podcast called "German Supercar" . It features short vids of german exotics and there is a new BMW GINA prototype that actually changes shape with a flexible skin,its wicked, and the headlights look like eyes closing and opening and it even changes the fenders and hood shape. All should check it out!!

I think it was in this month's Top Gear magazine... pretty wild car. They only had a small sidebar on it though, not a full article.

Seems it would be a PITA to claybar

Somehow GINA is an acronym for Geometry and Functions in "N" (i.e. Infinite) Adaptations).

If you live in VA can you get a vanity plate that says

"VA-GINA"


?????

That is funny. Some years ago I built a store in Florida called Discovery Zone. The first night we tried the neon sign with 4 foot letters the DISC DID NOT LIGHT, leaving OVERY ZONE for all to see. Everyone except the new store owner had a good laugh. We finaly got a smile out of him.
