If Only It Came In Black...

...then I'd totally get one. This is me, totally awake at 9pm, after my ride in the Tesla Roadster. It's Lotus meets Electric Vehicle. It's been in the press lots in the last few months for its sleek looks and lack of a petroleum habit. It's not even being produced yet (just prototypes) and yet they've already sold a bunch of them, including one to George Clooney. You can get one too for $100,000. Dorian, battery master, was putting the car through its paces this weekend and we definitely worked it on the streets of Menlo Park. 240 horsepower, 0-60 in 4 seconds. Yeah...that's what it felt like. We didn't quite get it up to 60 because of all the darn stop signs, but over 40, really really fast. Feel the G force fast. The little top comes off so it's like a Honda del Sol (sorry Tesla for that reference) and there's a lot of legroom. I would totally recommend this car. The gas mileage is great! And we look cute together, right?
