    Now I understand why it's important to have a car large enough to carry all of your supermodel girlfriends.

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: I don't know, I kind of like making my supermodel girlfriends run along side my car. Helps keep them in shape.

    @engineerd invented the race car: True enough. But it's unsightly when they arrive late and sweaty, plus sometimes they get lost or forget and wander off, and then you have to go round them up. It's hard enough explaining how they have to take turns in the front seat.

    Wow, early start for the ePRS (patent pending):


    Rinspeed announces the Fiat 500 E2" -- a car with two power level -- and Megan Fox -- round, small boobies; cuddly; eyes to fall in love with; and a sexy behind.


    The Rinspeed Fiat 500 E2" concept is based on the Fiat 500 Abarth edition and marks Rinspeed's embracement of green philosophies. Equipped with both a 60 hp "Commuting" mode, suitable for crowded European cities, and a 160 hp "Highway" mode, suitable for hoonage, the Rinspeed Fiat 500 E2" can consume as little at 4 liters of evil dinosaur fuel per 100 km (59 mpg for us 'Mericans) in Italian Pest mode or 7 liters/100 km (33.6 mpg) in Pest on Steroids mode.


    A Sport button labeled "E2" controls the switch from anemic to full power.


    We then make a bunch of comments about how we need to use resources responsibly without destroying driving fun to make sure Greenpeace will consider us for some sort of award.

    Well Ray, it looks like you finally got your Jalopnik staff car. I'm guessing it falls a little short of what you were hoping for.

    @Ray Wert: I take it then that it's only for this show? That's kind of a drag, actually. It would be cool to have this at your disposal for for some of the other shows and (as others have mentioned) for LeMons events.

    When the door is the largest piece of your car--bigger than the hood or the roof or the fenders--a bit unsettling.

    I really considered buying one of these a while back. But I live in Portland, Oregon a city that is spread out over a wide area. In order for me to get to most of the places I go, I need to traverse roads with 35 mph speed limits. I can see me driving now: hugging the curb, emergency flashers on, people behind me honking. Push that top speed to 35 - 40 mph, keep the price about the same and I will be at the showroom the next day. Ok, maybe not the next day but soon.
