My guess is thats why Steve Fossett disapeared.
He had hopes of 800+MPH land speed.

I've toured Saturn in Tennessee, Toyota in Georgetown, and the Vette plant in Bowling Green.

Saturn was the first I was in, I was amazed to say the least. The first most amazing thing was that train deal we rode on. About 10 cars on it and the driver could make a 90 degree right with the motor end and the cars would each go to the exact spot and turn 90 degrees. It wasn't on a rail, just regular tires, Have no idea how it did that. I know he did hit 1 garbage can with it, turned into an isle about 3' wider than the train on each side and clipped a can slightly.

The most amazing thing was the aluminum in the plant. Seems like 90% of the metal in that car was aluminum. It was shipped to the plant liquid in thermal tanks that looked like overgrown coffee thermoses. They poured the cargo into a system that piped the liquid metal to the casting stations to make whatever part. I forget now how long they said they could haul the aluminum before it turned solid in the truck tank, but seems like it was not enough to make it from Alcoa to there, so I suppose it was under 3 hours.
