Absolutely insane and stupid but with excellent potential real world applications.

Agreed. It's a fun first step towards something that will have real-world applications, so why not.

This guy actually contacted me about buying my outrun but I only have the sitdown version not the deluxe version he wanted. I guess at that point if I had the deluxe version I wouldn't be trying to sell it and it would be in my basement.

When I was in high school, I imagined a vehicle that had screens for windows. Of course, this vehicle was more an incognito battle wagon. A little later on, I thought of something more 'consumer usable/useful': a special type of glass for the windows that would be transparent, but able to filter or amplify light to a level so that bright sources weren't blinding, and dim sources were more visible.
