@jkuvakas While the Committee hesitates to consider their designs as "groundbreaking," we do admit to seeing certain similarities between our rudimentary plans and composting. Boris implements most of the digging/shoveling aspects of the proposal while Jack and I tend to the creation side of all that needs to be shoveled.

At this early developmental stage (our car, not our gray matter) JK and I hesitate to call our project performance results groundbreaking but rather windbreaking.  In fact on the high speed course they can be described occasionally as earth splattering rather than earth shattering; to which Boris can attest. The reduction of molasses drizzle on the oat feed has minimized this issue however and is much appreciated by our European test driver Gunnar B. Steinke.

"I'm thinking Boris needs to find a new line of work and also have his eyesight checked."

@bob-jackman Bob:....Boris' eyesight is fine in the clinical sense; it just that his work environment makes his eyes water.

It has been noted by JK and me that several references have been made to changing over to a rear "engine" model in order to lessen exhaust emission/effluent/driver conflict.  Our secret research code named "Ponypusher" showed that although the exhaust  problem was much improved, a rear situated power source made the "engine" work much longer, often resulting in complete fatigue.  This naturally led to a much increased and literal drag factor during downhill grade course segments; resulting in much slower lap times and blown pump fatalities.  In spite of sales proceeds from dog food companies the rear engine development program was found to be financially unsustainable.  Our development team ultimately saved the day however, fashioning a device based on a traditional oil funnel, a secret project code named "Where the sun don't shine" which effectively diverted exhaust away from the driver.

@jack-dodds, Boris has been expressing his dissatisfaction with having to clean the exhaust diversion extensions repeatedly. Please check into it. While you're at it, you might consider mentioning his personal hygiene habits. Some of our "associates" are complaining.
