Celebrity Green Cars

[Rambit]

Yuk! Here's a list of what celebrities are driving in the name of green. No telling what other cars they drive though. Jay Leno and a few others are cool, but the politicians are self-serving hypocrites IMO. Toyota Prius seems to score big for most.

Most cars are 0 to 60 in 3.4 days not including breaks for meals.

Please note that while GM engineers are working with gaseous hyrdrogen, BMW does not. No Hindenberg there.

Did you check out the slideshow link to see how Jay Leno modified his Crossfire?

Meh, I don't care for battery power. Silence evokes no emotion. Also, there are all sorts of environmental issues with making and disposing of batteries, plus the charge has to come from a plug and the plug has to get its energy from a nearby energy source (while with hydrogen they could do my idea of giant solar plants out in wyoming making hydrogen...gratned solar panel production have environmental issues as well, but as long as they're made in a country with laws, i.e not China, they can be made fairly cleanly.

This motorcycle is silent, but it sure invokes plenty of emotion:
YouTube - Electric Motorcycle Crash
But yeah, I agree with you - what's the fun in driving around sounding like an electric drill?

Sounds funny just thinking how that would sound...haha. Hey, don't forget the enviornmental issues when those things need replacing.

No emotion evoked here, but then again, that's true for me and most motorcycles (once I starting being in the driver's position, I realized there's nothing fun about them for me).

Paris riding a Yukon hybrid? Could that be a bi-sexual lumberjack?
