This is a my street-legal jet car on full afterburner. The car has two engines: the production gasoline engine in the front driving the front wheels and the jet engine in the back. The idea is that you drive around legally on the gasoline engine and when you want to have some fun, you spin up the jet and get on the burner (you can start the jet while driving along on the gasoline engine). The car was built because I wanted the wildest street-legal ride possible. With this project, I was able to use some stuff I learned while getting my fancy engineering degree (I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University) to design the car without the distraction of how other people have done it in the past - because no one has. I don't know how fast the car will go and probably never will. The car was built to thrill me, not kill me. That doesn't stop me from the occasional blast on the highway though.

Lol, that's the first thing I thought..."The next *&%#! that tailgates me is gonna go home somwhere between 'well done' and 'crispy'."
reminds me of the flame thrower car in south africa that discourage carjackings.
Oh yeah, doesn't that flamethrower car have the most dangerous "security feature" in the world? ... unless if you want to count the "denver jockstrap" thing in The Naked Gun III, haha
