How are you handling higher gas prices?
Do you moan and groan when you pull up to refill your car?
Some people complain, others just walk or car pool or bike more, and still others invent new solutions — like cool new cars.
Since I enjoy attracting new cars, I’m impressed with the latter group of people.
They are seeing opportunities and acting on them.
I’ve heard of all electric cars (such as the Tesla), all water cars, all solar cars, and of course a wide variety of hybrids.
One of the new hybrids has me excited. It’s a hydrogen-gas hybrid that’s still a super exotic race car. A limited edition one, to boot.
It’s called The Scorpion.
And it’s made right here in Texas, in fact only an hour away from my home.
Ronn Motor Company, Inc., based near Austin, was founded by automotive entrepreneur and visionary Ronn Maxwell, and former Dell, Inc. executive Adrian Pylypec.
Their car was just proclaimed Publisher’s Choice in the August issue of duPont REGISTRY: A Buyers Gallery of Fine Automobiles®.
The engine in the Scorpion hot rod is an Acura 3.5 litre V6, which generates 450 hp in twin turbo configuration.
That’s about 200 mph.
Yet it gets about 40 miles per gallon.
And the CO2 emissions are nearly zero.
For a street legal race car, this is astonishing.
The great gas mileage and zero emissions are due to a blend of hydrogen and gasoline.
As I understand it, the hydrogen is generated directly from an on-board water tank that holds 3 gallons of water, and only has to be refilled every 1,000 miles.
This clever solution avoids the need for heavy and expensive hydrogen tanks in the car itself.
Never before has an auto manufacturer included a hydrogen generator as a standard part of an automobile. This could be the end of the catalytic convertor.
I haven’t seen the actual car yet, but plan to visit the shop where it’s being made and ride in one later this week.
And at $150,000, I may order one of the first ones, or a special edition version of it, for myself.
My point here is that when you see a problem, do you also see the opportunity?
Donny Deutsch of CNBC’s The Big Idea repeatedly says that when you complain about something, right there is your ticket to wealth.
Other people might have the same complaint. Solve it and get rich.
Personally, I’ve never liked scorpions — until now.
Ao Akua,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I’m sure this isn’t the place for this, but I don’t know how to leave a comment via twitter.
I just wanted to let you know how my heart goes out to you at the imminent loss of Tiger. Only a week or so ago, I had to say goodbye to my feline companion, Max, who was 18 of our years old, so I am guessing I can feel a bit of what you are going through. Glad you are going to spoil him!
Take care of yourselves,
Tom

Joe,
Those are some nice cars. I would like to attract one of those. I have a Chevorlet Malibu named Skyla. You’re rubbing on me Joe! I would like to attract not only that car but a Hyundai Tiburon and fix it up and put some chrome rims on there. This car isn’t average whereas the ones the major dealers sell us are. What are gas prices in your area Joe? My area Cincinnati, OH is $3.60 a gallon. The highest ones are $4.19 at one time here. It’s always a solution to ever rising gas prices.
Joe my condolences go out to you.In fact I’m upping the daily dose of love that I send out into the world.
I’m also here to bring dowsing into your awareness.I’m sure you’ve heard of it.Now is the time to learn it.Why would I say this? Well,in the last 3 days dowsing has come into my awareness 3 times.This is bigger than just you or I though so if you’re reading this you’re also called to learn about dowsing and the truly profound love and positive changes it will bring to this planet along with evolving the consciousness.

There are 9 parts but this is information you at least need to be aware of.If it resonates with you please join in the light.
Thank you and I love you.
Love the Scorpion! Can’t wait to see you zoom by in it. :razz::lol:–diane
Joe, since you’re into economic sports cars, you may have heard of these two:
http://www.teslamotors.com/
http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/
Neither hail from Texas, but otherwise much to like. 😉
I forget which one of those books sounded so intriguing but thank you for listing them, I’m reading initiation into hermetics by Franz Bardon which of course you’ve read, and “On Occult Philosophy” by heinrich cornelius agrippa, both of which if you haven’t read I bet you’d love, and I’m sorry about your cat, cats are deep, I know that they can come back to you in your dreams though and let you pet them even once they die
Dear Joe,
I’m Mario Robecchi, from Milano, Italy,
and you, Joe, are a part of my goals.
Let me explain, as this post of yours
is, for me, the perfect answer from the Law of Attraction… 🙂
I enrolled the 2008 Boundless Living Challenge
organized by Bob Doyle: my Triple Goals aim to improve our world.
My goal #1 is to write a free self-help e-book
to deliver all over the world in at least 10,000 copies,
also to find 200 friends who support my vision.
My Goal #2 is to get a location where to meet people,
to run workshops and to promote social actions with the help of experts.
My Goal #3 is about you, Joe, and some of your best friends.
When I discovered “The Secret” I thought to gather
all that power coming from you, leading scientist,
authors, counsellors, and philosophers who teach “The Secret”,
to reach a magnificent goal, tangible, useful for the Planet:
I wish to invite you to lead a project to manifest
the use of water-powered engines.
It’s possible, we already know how to do it:
visit this site http://www.water4gas.com/2books.htm
and read “Water4Gas – Modify Your Car to Save Gas Using Water”.
I am not an engineer but I suppose it could properly work:
and if we visualize it works, it will surely do!
So, can you imagine the impact that we can have
to show the world, at the same time,
the science of the Law of Attraction
and the benefits for a clean technology?
My Goal #3 has a double purpose: first, drastically reduce pollution,
especially in those emerging countries like China and India;
second, to show the beauty and the power of the Law of Attraction.
Maybe the Staff of The Secret is already doing something about it:
I do not know, and probably many people do not know about water engines…
That’s why I write this comment to your post:
would you like, Joe, to give me a hand to manifest my Goal #3
which is a goal for the best of humankind and of the Earth?
Would you like to promote this very big action?
Do you feel this goal exciting, lively, joyful, and suitable
to your sense of challenge, and to your pleasure to help?
Thank you very much!
Mario 🙂
Joe that car is sex on a stick!!!
Interesting they use on board hydrogen on demand. i am experimenting with an aftermarket version (there are plenty of plans and bits available on the internet like the link above) for my own car.
Guess the mainstream manufactureres don’t want it (Or the Governments of the world – how do you tax water placed into a car’s water tank).
Like the household compressor for autogas from your city gas pipeline – available but low key.
And to learn how to approach someone like Joe for a JV I suggest folks get and read the ebook at http://www.firstcontactsecrets.com (not an affiliate link).
Thanks for sharing Joe – you are a good bloke.
Cheers

What a wonderful idea to save the planet! Hot looking too! Let’s hope they become more affordable in the near future to let the general public buy into the solution.
Hello dear Joe
Great entry as usual. I hear about looking at to the solutions instead of issues.
However Tesla is still my favorite
I wrote -about the Tesla over a year ago, See http://blog.mrfire.com/uncategorized/what-would-james-bond-drive-today
It has a lot of challenges not the least of which are those six thousand batteries which will not last long, are expensive and will be dumped in the environment at some point. A friend saw the Tedsla and said it was the fastest golf cart ever. Hot looking car though.
