A question I bet you never asked...

Rolls Royce 102EX

With over 1400 pounds of battery over the front wheels this must be the definition of "handles like a pig". Can you say massive understeer.

This leads me to the government silliness of the Fisker Karma. The Fisker car company produces the hybrid-electric Karma sedan. It's sells for $96,000. The investors in Fisker put up around $496,000. But, did you know the Obama administration gave/invested well over $500,000 in the company. I actually like the car but have no clue as to how it drives.

But, here's the rub the same people who do not believe in trickle down economics believe in trickle down technology. Otherwise there would be no justification in giving this company half a billion dollars.
