Actually, MAV, Steam-powered cars were quite popular at one time (the Stanley Steamer comes to mind) but they lost out in the end to the internal combustion engine. I don't know why. Anyone have any idea? 'Spaw, perhaps?
Not that 'Spaw was responsible ya dummy! I thought he might know the answer. I know he's to blame for a lot of things but this was before his time.
In fact, it was before MY time.
Or Kendalls.
