I’ll Be Back in Time

posted by on October 12 at 17:09 PM

Cars are evil, on this we agree. We should never ever drive them and ride our bikes to work instead. Ron Sims should be denounced for coming out against the roads and transit package –or should he be praised? I still haven’t figured that one out, but I’m leaning towards praised. Either way, cars in some form are going to be around for the rest of our lives, so we might as well make the best of it, yeah?

This is the 2009 Chevy Camaro Convertible Concept, and what can I say? This sweet ride is a dick magnet sure to persuade young men everywhere to sign on the dotted line (and jump in my lap—rowr!). It’ll probably sell well if GM can get it together enough to actually build the thing, which is crucial since it’s the best design to come out of GM in at least 20 years. Is it wrong and just a bit white-trashy that I want one so, so badly? I’m already coming up with all kinds of lame excuses: “…But I recycle everything!”

Suhweet Jayzus, I hope they make a hybrid model.

Or maybe I should go for the Jetsons-style 230 mpg Aptera instead.

Hey, if we don't get to use our share of gas now, then we will never get a chance to use it.

My fave is the robo-gorilla hybrid that gets 40 mpg. No, I'm not joking (Toyota makes it).

But RTID/ST2 is still bad.

Andrew, you really should be lusting after the Tesla Roadster (www.teslamotors.com); incredibly beautiful car; 0-60 in four seconds. 250 mile range; charge in 3 hours on household current: it's electric.
