Anyway, LJ, the more important question for you and other folks in the auto biz, is what are you going to do once people don't need your product anymore?
you want undercoating on that teleporter, don't you? and all the really affluent customers get the scotch guard inside. shall i put you down for the same?

I am not generally happy with my life.
If they let me (and bastards have strict rules) I'd do anything experimental that would pay.

Or excuse me, I'm about to have kittens.

Read "Jumper" by Steven Gould, about a kid who discovers he can teleport, and what he does with it.

They made a bad movie of it. Book,and it's sequel, are MUCH better and make much more sense.

I already do it. I come by my house from the future, and discuss which restaurants will give me food poisoning.

I thought undercoating was standard on all teleporters now. We have come a long way since the NIST transported atoms some years ago. Cost controller are now charging extra for the undercoating.
