23. Sorry, but just abhor such a waste.

Yeah, it's got a hot engine, which means that the stresses that wood will have to endure will be all that much greater. Sure, they made some wooden cars a century ago, but that was back when cars traveled at 20mph tops. Once they started going faster than that, the stresses created by such speed quickly showed that wood wasn't a practical material.

This is just another toy for the rich and well off, and a wasteful one at that. I'd rather see that would still back in the ground in tree form.
