"It's not about miles to the gallon, it's about gallons to the mile," he said...."It wasn't built to be efficient and fast. It was built to look cool and insect-like and fun."


I like this guys! And that 2nd quote is (sans the part about not being fast) EXACTLY what I tell people when they ask about the Tib.

My point is, all spiders have 8 legs this has 6. which means its not a spider. Yes, ignoring the fact that its metal, and looks huge
