I hope to hell my tax dollars aren't at risk to finance this. I don't want to finance another Chinese battery plant like A123. Is Tesla trying to tell me they can't find ONE Li-Ion battery plant in the US with excess capacity? Oh sorry, they HAVE excess capacity, they just can't build a fucking battery!

Instead of testing in deep snow they should test its ability to resist road salt, ash, sand and the other car rotting stuff the states apply to the roads each winter.

man that tridion cell is tough

It definetly appears that the Smart held up better than the Ferrari.

I'm going to present a dissident view.

Have to agree with the sentiment that this was wrong that's around here. This is one of the big problems in motorcycle racing and is the reason I have no interest in participating. The desire to win is so strong with some of these guys they are willing to do ANYTHING including killing people to win. This is quite…

I put a grape in my 12 volt socket and it didn't work. Prepare to be sued again, Torchinsky.

Wal-Mart is a dirty job now? There's minimum wage jobs out there, there's nothing wrong with them and there's nothing wrong with the people who work them. With that said; a fucking trained monkey could do a majority of the jobs at Wal-Mart. There are still farmers and coal miners in this country, god forbid a high…

The Volt has the same transmission-less smooth power NOW feel as a Tesla, it's just not as abundant... In LA traffic it's point and shoot, no contest in most cases - far more than adequate power for most drivers. On the 10W heading home to PS it romps, seriously - it will easily take any normal vehicle on those…

Praise to the Manual Transmission!!!

Great! Now not only can I be temporarily blinded by even more ridiculously bright lights, I can be literally blinded by lasers. Somebody's gotta get the price down on these, I've got to be able fight back, dammit!

Great. More blinding-fucking-headlights in oncoming traffic.

Hey look someone in the south who actually knows how to drive when it snows.

All cars are fixable unless you are a spoiled american who sees a car as "totaled" if it has a dent in the bumper.

Seriously, The South.....grow a pair.

Eye bleach! Now! Where is it?! Argh......

few things to think about before we all shit our pants

Good luck hacking my carburetor!

Part of me wants them to go union to be on a level playing field with the Domestics. But, I have a sneaking suspicion that such a move will drive more future transplant manufacturing to Mexico.

I'm not here from the safety brigade, but I do find Jalopnik's stance on street racing confusing:
"STREET RACING IS THE WORST THING EVER AND WE SHOULD FIND EVERYONE WHO DOES IT AND BEAT THEM WITH A STICK OMGOMGOMG"
"Look, this guy street raced for a reeeeeally long time, so now it's cool"
I'll admit that I find it kind…
