ceramic coated turbine or turbine made out of ceramic? @_@ If it is the first one, I wouldn't doubt it... why not?

i have been reading up on turbines made of ceramic- supposedly it's a much more advanced material than what we are "used" to. (like coatings)

lighter, stronger and faster spool up

Some JDM cars have these stock, I think a Skyline had one at one time. Crazy.

I used to have a Huffy made completely out of iron with a yellow, metalic-flaked banana seat. I also cut the forks off of another bike and elongated mine but self-welded them with force. It was fantasmic until about the third wheelie.

Oh! I almost forgot about the 21" sissy bar.

I just got a new vacuum cleaner, and it sucks.
