My next car is going to be a heavily modded 1970 <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/International_Harvester\">International<\/a> Scout II. My first car was a Scout (unmodded), and I loved the high visibility, the fantasticly sharp turning radius, and the overall blocky bulky utilitarian stylings. Note that the Scout II was designed decades before the &#8220;SUV&#8221; became mainstream. The Scout was a &#8220;UV&#8221; plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p>The main upgrade will be the Hypersonic Containment Fusion reactor in the back. This safe, clean, self-limiting reactor traps <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Deuterium\">deuterium<\/a> atoms in a resonant compression pattern, inducing highly efficient, small-scale, low-temperature fusion.<\/p>\n<p>The generated electricity drives a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Piezo\">Piezoelectromagnetic<\/a> engine, which provides the drive-train with six to eight times the torque of a traditional internal combustion engine. Surplus energy from the reactor is stored in an array of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Angular_momentum\">angular momentum<\/a> batteries which can power the car for several days of &#8220;silent mode&#8221; operation, and which double as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gyroscope\">gyroscopic<\/a> stabilizers during cornering and braking.<\/p>\n<p>The Nuclear Modded International Scout II can do 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds with a top speed of one quarter the speed of sound. Its milage is measured in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.metricsucks.org\/\">kilometers per liter<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Heavy_water\">heavy water<\/a>, averaging 18000 KpL2H2O on the highway, and 14500 KpL2H2O on city streets. It produces no toxic or radioactive emmisions, but you do have to empty the helium tank twice a year.<\/p>\n<p>Now I just gotta figure out what color I want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current mood: Blinkenzots My current car has served me well, but when it wears out, I have already decided what to replace it with.
