Oh, you laugh, but somewhere there is a laboratory on the cusp of harnessing the kinetic energy of crappy dash and trim pieces rubbing together through an in-dash series of  micro-chargers. Soon the entire Pontiac range will underpin our squeaky carbon-free transportation future.

Driving to work and back without paying for gasoline?

Ahhh, the sweet relaxing silence of gliding down the road in an electric vehicle. The gentle whooshing of air as it cascades over the pillars, the tweet of a bird as you pass a stand of birch trees . . . . wait a minute . . . what’s that?

So you’re that guy.

Yielding?

Not to mention the time he badly beat up an extra and pissed off George Clooney so bad that he almost choked him to death. Or the time he put Christopher Nolan in a chokehold because he thought he was stealing one of his actors, or the time he mistreated Amy Adams, or the time he groped his niece, OR.. we could be…

Why didn’t Mazda put the RX-01 into production?

It’s like a C4 ‘Vette and Eagle Talon had a baby and I want to adopt the li’l bastard.

Really? I don’t see that as a problem at all.

In all seriousness.....I want one of these as a cruiser. Am I crazy? I’m crazy I think.

That movie is awesome.

This image was the first thing I thought of. Nice job.

Could be a scene out of Friedkin’s unsung masterpiece, The Sorcerer.

Reason number 678,987,456,892,369,923 why I can’t wait for the death of car dealerships.

I always call that color root beer. I love root beer.

I’m gonna be cliche here, but I think an unassuming brown/earth tone is the best color for any car.

That’s a terrible saying. Purple is a solid color.

I saw this color on a whole line of Coach purses this weekend shopping for my wife. I didn’t know it had non-auto applications.
