I agree youd think they coud make a pretty powerfull car now. || and it only had three wheels this was made in 1769.

I agree with you. It would probably be better for our planetif we used electric cars. But, those charging stations were probably expensive and they didnt have the same amount of technology back then. || Cugnot was the first person to invent the automobile.
