New Anger-Powered Cars May Revolutionize The Way We Drive

[Devil_Fish]

DETROIT—With gas prices approaching $2 per gallon in some areas and gridlock on the rise, Detroit's three major automakers are stepping up development of their newest brainchild: the anger-powered car.


"By drawing a significant percentage of its motive power from the unbridled temper of the American motorist, the new anger-powered car will change, or at least take mechanical advantage of, the way Americans drive," General Motors vice-chairman Robert A. Lutz said. "We plan to have these furiously efficient machines careening down America's highways, byways, and sidewalks within two years."

Lutz said automakers have been researching fury fuels since the mid-1970s. As early as 1984, they began to look for ways to take advantage of the limitless supply of bad temper generated daily by American drivers—outrage currently vented wastefully into dashboards, steering wheels, and passengers.

8. I think I may have taken the liberty

of changing the price (noting the change, of course) had I posted it. Only because I read the first sentence about 4 times before I decided to read on. It made no sense to me.

I'm surprised The ONION didn't make the change. It would probably have been some kind of copyright infringement, though.

7. Personally I like Robin Williams' idea of a car powered by shit.

"Hi I'm Robin Williams. I just had a double bean and chili burrito. The shit hit the fan and it's powering my car. Fuck green, go brown."
