But it led to one big problem for me, the story was US-culture centred - Proms/cars/dates - which is not how I'd see the world if Hitler had been in charge til 1972. I guess this might be more of a problem for a non-US citizen. I'm British BTW. i liked the references to an alternative world – the dictator Hitler dying in 1972.

I loved it. Thought the story was so so, I just couldn't suspend my believe enough to buy into growing cars, my brain was too distracted on how they would work knowing how complex a real car is. Nice concept that I don't think translated too well into a story. “Even if cars were grown, I’d still buy a hybrid” Worst. . .Pun. . .ever! I loved it.

Not nearly as professional as Escape Pod, and sometimes he rambles on a bit, but I find that players of Guild Wars are generally interested. Go check it out.

It would have been nice to have had more of a conclusion or a point to the story. What there was was quite nicely written although I thought there was a faint echo on the audio as if it was being narrated in a small room? Sorry but overall I felt this was substandard.

Tobias has my interest perked, given the odd tale. As always, you've made a good choice with the short story to be read. It's great to see surresl fiction like this, being picked up by Escapepod.

I really like the selection of what detail was included and what wasn't, the way the coffee table broke and the desciption of the panels.

I really like the idea of cars growing as plants. And wow, that seemed really short. Was it really short, or was I just losing track of time?
