Mike, This is a link to the Purdue research. It sounds like a valid technical report to me and I have never heard that the university is noted for selling snake oil. It seems they may be able to improve lithium-ion batteries, which could be of interest to EV owners. http://www.purdue.edu/n

Hi Willie, It is kind of half loaded. It has the air suspension, but doesn't have the panoramic roof. It only has the 19" wheels, but that's what I wanted. It has the leather seats. I wasn't sure if I wanted the panoramic roof, so I was ok without it. I considered the air suspension a must

Being fairly technical, I usually look at the situation the other way around. If the description of the technology doesn't give me a reasonable idea of how and why it will work, I tend to assume the person is the technological equivalent of the snake oil salesman. Unfortunately, I have rarely
