If it's sunny you take the sun-powered car and if it's rainy, the rain-powered car. It's genius really

Add a little extra wind power to both of those, and baby you got a stew going!

So, we talking a piezoelectric body that converts the kinetic energy of the rain into power, or electric vehicles in Quebec? (Quebec has a shit ton of hydroelectricity, which one could argue is rain-powered.)

It's entirely possible, yes! I just don't know anything about the physical location of the sh.itjust.works server..

The last guy who invented a water-powered car was invited to dinner to pitch his idea to investors, then promptly murdered by them.
