Sometimes, we wish two posts on different topics would somehow magically merge together. The story of Hertz winning out against Zipcar for carsharing at the Ohio State University would be so much cooler if one of the cars you could rent by the hour is the Lotus-developed biofueled Antarctic speeder you can see on the left up there. I mean, who wouldn't want to go cruising over a frozen Ohio lake in that thing, and for nine bucks an hour, too? As for two things that should just not go together, check out this coal-powered Caddy. Yikes.
