    If Philly is anything like the midwest I wouldn't bother with any old cars given the way they douse the roads in salt consistently after heavy snows. Down here in Texas it's just sand but then snow here isn't on par with the great blizzards of Chicagoland USA or Minnesota.

    If Philly and the Midwest are anything like Japan, they've blown up.

    I object to autism being lumped with other "problems."

    EDIT: Edited to more accurately reflect my sentiments, as expressed by magikot.

    I object to autism being considered a problem at all. Next it'll be being a prude is a serious mental condition that needs medication. -_-

    Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder. That sounds like a problem to me.

    It's not a problem for everyone diagnosed with it. It simply leads to an alternative brain type that, while not always socially successful, tends to be more intelligent than the average neurotypical. While autism carries a negative stigma, this is in majority because of low-functioning autism, which is much easier to diagnose than high-functioning autism, and in the case of many of those higher-functioning autistics, they may never be diagnosed with anything. It all comes down to coping skills.

    By my judgment, autism is a performance enhancer and the performance is life.

    He could most certainly afford gas, being that it's half the price of petrol.

    Any other than the fact that gasoline is cheaper than water in America, whereas Commonweatlh countries and indeed the rest of the Western world would probably be better off simply spending the money on uranium and fit their cars with nuclear reactors instead?

    Could you imagine if you had a head on collision and took out half of the city?

    That would be rather cool, but unlikely. Unless they build cars like nuclear warheads, with one piece of sub-critical uranium-235 in the front of the car and one in the back. You might also have to add some kind of collision-triggered explosive device placed either in the boot or right in front of the car. Add a empty tube between those two pieces of uranium, just for good measure.

    Would be a totally awesome car.
