ooooh, ooooh, oooh, (Hand goes up in the air!) how about a selective air
pressure system which changes the stagger on the front wheels? Little more
air on one side and that side has a larger rolling turn radius and
automatically turns the other way. What a genius! We could use a pendelum
to control the thrust vectoring on the nozzle. If the car veers one way the
pendelum swings the other thus when coupled to the nozzle moves the car
back into line. Oh man, what a brain (fart).
Check with youse guys later. Cleaning and dusting now...house is almost
painted inside. At T-8 weeks before move...
