    Did they have to stop at the duty free shop and pick up the Euro plugs?

    I hope Tesla owners realise the error of their plan after the sign that is the financiapocalypse. The failing of banks prove that the middlemen in the transfer of funds, or in the case of the Roadster, energy, is greedy and sucks away at the efficiency, and occasionally cause a breakdown of the entire system.

    Keep comin up with funky ass vapor-ware like every single day
    May i, kick a little something for the greenies (yeah)
    And, make a few ends as (yeah!) I breeze, through
    Two in the mornin and the cars still chargin’
    Cause my big charge station is still at home
    I got investors in the living room gettin it on
    And, they aint leavin til they see a profit in the mornin (proit in the mornin)
    So what you wanna do, sheeeit
    I got a pocket full of shares and my suckers do too
    So turn off the lights and close the doors
    But (but what) we dont love them investors, yeah!
    So we gonna blow smoke up their ass to this
    Gs up, profits down, while you motherfuckers bounce to this

    @lilwillie hides autos in the attic: This is why you have a start and a heart. It took me until line three to get into the flow but get there I did.

    Have you heard the version done by the Gourds? I couldn't find any good videos of it but this one has the best sound.

    Were they actually being driven in the show? It's not like the batteries drain significantly from sitting overnight.

    Actually, that sounds like a great idea - use Teslas to get around the exhibits! That would be way cooler than these dorky things.

    Isn't a portable power station more easily described as a gas-powered generator?

    So much easier when that's built in...and stays with the car...so it's always ready when you want it...

    I wonder if anybody's doing that already with that sweet little chassis. You could even skip the electric drivetrain that way. That'd cut a lot of unnecessary weight out. That'd be greeeaaat.

    @Psiu! Puxa! drinks unleaded and craps valve seats: Yes, I'll take a Miura, plus something new more & reliable (like an E-Class, for example) for that kind of money.

    Or maybe a Miura, a C-Class or 3-Series, plus a new house... depending on the price of the Miura find.

    Or the right Miura find, a 3-Series, a new house, and a date with Megan Fox.

    Somewhere in there is the right combination.

    From Merriam-Webster:
    "a large group or collection [a bevy of girls]"

    despite the fact that they use "a bevy of girls" as an example two girls does not constitute a bevy. They pay you to know this stuff, Hardigree.

    Can someone reassure me that it's ok for Lambo to have a $1.3mil car? Because I have to strongly disagree, and I will make my voice heard by NOT buying one - like, even if I could.

    @Never say maybe: Why engineer a replacement for production when you can make bigger profits on 5x more expensive limited editions, for which you simply make an extra 24 copies of the custom part you were going to put on your concept car anyway?

    Other low-volume makers are doing it, like the Aston Martin one-77. Also Koenigseggeggeg and Pagani, where every time they make another baker's dozen they change a handful of parts and give the latest car a new name.
