So about five or six years ago, a friend and I got into a huge argument about electric cars. He said one of the biggest barriers to them being accepted was their ability to compete in motorsports. It got kind of heated actually. I made the claim that the general car buying public doesn't give two damns about motorsports or car development in general. Not only that, but electric cars were already pretty damn competitive, even while being niche. I used The White Zombie as a direct example. Not that I hold grudges or anything, but I think I'll bookmark Rhys Millen's accomplishment as an "I told you so."
