Students from West Philadelphia High School have built a diesel-hybrid race car that goes from 0-60 in four seconds. While the car currently gets 60+ mpg, they hope to soon break 100 mpg.

Why? They are competing for $10 million in the Automotive X-Prize .

Called the Hybrid Attack, the car was built by kids from West Philly’s Academy of Automotive and Mechanical Engineering. And if that alone doesn’t make them cool, they are the only high school team competing out of 90 different teams from the U.S. and overseas.

I think the fact that high school students are involved points directly to outside influence. Because not only does it take supervision to make students build anything good, it takes supervision to prevent them from getting all... sticky.

When it's all said and done, though, this still isn't going to work; I'm not saying there's a conspiracy or anything like that, it's just, you know, diesels aren't popular. And who wants a car built by high schoolers? It all goes back to sticky.
