Rethinking the car



Here are two extraordinary cars that I discovered through the magic of the internet. One is the Tesla Roadster. The Tesla is fascinating because it redefines what an electric car can be. How does 0 to 60mph in about 4 seconds and 135mpg equivalent all wrapped up in a gorgeous sports car package sound? Nikola Tesla would be proud.

Then you have the Ariel Atom. A stripped down minimal sports car with a phenomenal power to weight ratio but no windshield. You have to see this one to believe it. It's amazing.

I'll take one of each. ;-)
