    Well, it's not a Turbonique - but right now on eBay (#4540017153) there is
a Jet Turbine powered gokart that the seller has had up to 60+MPH before
losing his nerve. It seems well-built out of quality materials. Anyone care to
experiment?

    Also, per John Burks's reference to Red Greth's dragster powered by
compressd air - didn't Mickey Thompson try that in one of his Mustang funny
cars, only to have the NHRA nix it?
