Sports car made of wood: is it eco-friendly?

Remember back in the day when your mom's super-cool station wagon had wood paneling on the side? Pretty righteous. These days you'd be hard-pressed to find a car comprised of something other than plastic and metal -- unless you're talking about the Splinter, a new sports car constructed by North Carolina State University students that's made with wood composites.

Is it eco-friendly?

Apparently it doesn't matter, as the car won't ever be mass-produced. It was a graduate project, and, according to the students, they "aren't trying to sell anything," and "aren't trying to save the world." In fact, they could care less if future cars are made from wood -- they just wanted to see if they could do it.

However, as you'll see on Winding Road, the students did find some cool ways to make the car more efficient.

I don't know about you, but I'd be up for driving a car made out of wood. Kind of cool in a retro way, don't you think?
