Hmm, the protection from the elements thing I'd forgotten about.  You do make the car alternative sound more sensible.  :)  It confuses me a little to try to figure out how the carrying part would affect his endurance while running.  I don't want him to be super-strong, but if his body can handle super-long-distance running at super-speed, how much weight can he run with comfortably, or with difficulty?  Nothing I need to know right now, but it may come up again in the future.<br/><br/>Still wondering what the rest of you (Ana and Darwishi) think about him speeding ahead to contact their bosses, though ... Or maybe Voltaje doing the same with her wire-traveling power?  Also, haven't figured out what the need is for all of them to run off together.  ... Thoughts?
