Tesla Motors will soon unveil their electric roadster that does 0-60 in about 4 seconds and gets the equivalent of 135 mpg with a 250 mile range. Sure, they'll prolly cost a hundred large, but I'm curious to see what this marriage of speed and fuel economy looks like.
In other car news, Max is fascinated by the "Cars" trailers. He saw the trailer on a Pow... er, MacBook at the Apple store, and we've watched it on my Powerbook at home. Now he says, "I want to see the *whole* movie!"
[When Max says *whole*, he gets this funny little hitch in his voice, stemming from an incident where a well-meaning family friend gave him a big bar of Toblerone chocolate that she brought back from Europe, and told him, "Now this is for the whole family." When we told Max that he couldn't have any that night right before bedtime, he loudly protested, "But it's for the *whole* family!" I wish I had it on video, but it is something that I will always remember regardless. It may well be his cutest moment yet. I'm sure that most of you don't give a rat's ass how cute I think my son is, but part of the Dad job description is thinking that your kids are the greatest. Otherwise, it would be *much* harder to wipe their bums and mop up puke and stuff.]
Anyway, go see "Cars" -- now playing at a drive-in theater near you.
