	Breezed-thru the article without seeing mention of the experimental OX2 engine he'd been working on. No new Press Releases at the website since July 2010....can't help but wonder where he would've taken that...(?who will rise to replace him as President?) Visited a pretty cool 'Showroom' outside Las Vegas many years ago (where I bought a $100 raffle ticket for Carroll's personal 427 Cobra) ... was more impressed by his philanthropy than anything else (though the cars create a tingle just THINKING about driving one...!) Rest In Peace, good fellow ~

	Obviously the engine didn't ever work properly or they would have installed it in some sort of vehicle to parade it around to raise money...The stock is basically worthless even after a 20 to 1 reverse split...that pretty much tells the story... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life
