I have a feeling that with one of these, no one would ever try and harm me. However, some people are not very smart and may try.

The way gas prices are now? You would have to sell every organ in your body to keep that fueled for a month!!
(BTW, that would be great for rush hour, or Christmas shopping on "Black Friday" for my wife).

I'm no math whiz, but isn't that right around 2 miles per gallon?

I got .58 per gallon, and, at 3.90 a gallon, it would cost $1950 (Amero

) to fill up.

Thirty years ago, I machined parts for one of the valves in the original M1. I am sure they have all worn out by now.
