Ah, but it wouldn't be a gas tank - it'd be an aluminum-galium tank.

Tank you.

Uh, we drive around with a water tank on our car? Is it smaller than a swimming pool? Or will it be like years back when people had a small tank hanging on their window so the car would he air conditioned. The more things change the more they stay the same? (you may quote me) :bdsmile:

Re "we drive around with a water tank on our car?"

No, in the proposed system what the car would have in its tank would be the aluminum-gallium alloy. The exhaust would be water vapor.

That's fuel tank, not a vehicle that is a tank.

Then there was that time that Frank Burns took a spin in a tank on MASH, but never mind that - it didn't go over very well. Well, actually, it went over several tents quite well, including the women's shower. But never mind that, too.

Oh, shoot.... :cry: I thought you meant TANKS. :-D

Did you see GOLDENEYE? Pierce (Bond) drove a tank and just about ruined every thing in this picuresque Russian town. Fun!

:rotfl:

I like the chases in the Bond movies.......everything you least expect to happen, happens. I have to :lol: out loud at the silliness of some of the stuff.....what do I mean "some"? All of it, really. Although, "Casino Royal" was a bit daunting. I liked the movie but, it seemed to take itself a little to seriously, I thought.....not like it's predecessors which were usually made and acted with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Are you saying the Bond movies are meant to be funny? I thought they were serious spy movies taken right from the CIA files...or whatever they call their spy group in Britain...
