The automobile although an amazing invention that has been around for more than a hundred years has become more and more automated. I think that this takes the spirit of driving away from the human and turns vehicles into nothing but conveyances. There is an aspect to driving that stirs the soul, ask any motorcycle enthusiast. I wish we can bring that same spirit to 4 wheeled vehicles, a merging of motorcycle, car, fighter plane, and hang glider all in one. I wish I had a car, where I could be suspended in a 360 degree frame and position my seating to be in any orientation with full support; from sitting to laying on my stomach. To sit like on a crotch rocket, rotate myself to be in the ape hanging position, or anywhere in between. I wish each limb had a control, and the vehicle responded to my leaning. I wish to control the power to each wheel and braking of each wheel. I want to feel the road through the controls and the vibrations of the road to my senses. I don't need high horsepower or insane top speeds. But I very much want to move very quickly from stop to top. Let the frame have some universal mounting points so any body can be mounted, hopefully to improve the aerodynamics. If wings could be applied, the better. Lets stop being boring, and lets start becoming daring. We humans can do anything if we train, stop training to do nothing.
