Default Fuel Cell

So Fuel Cells aren't that automotive related yet for the vast majority of us, but this definitely falls under fabrication. Let me know what you think of the SolidWorks Drawings, this was my first time using SolidWorks to actually build an assembly rather than just playing around with the pre-school level tutorials.

On the test Bench, sorry for the poor quality (Not responsible if you get a headache):

So yes Honda has a car but even the FCX is a cool 7 figures lease aside; but I'd still kill to have one

I did enjoy James May's review of the Clarity for Top Gear, probably will have to sit down to watch that again later.

Its a corporate lease, $600 a month and you are a test mule for Honda. At the end of the lease, car goes back to Honda and this is for CA only. I can't remember how many are on the road though off hand.
