Nov 23 2009Rolls Royce To 'Rolls Out' A 2010 Electric Car

good

i would but it only to crash the hell out of it into a swamp and claim i was distracted by a low flying chupacabra

Can it turn into a giant robot? No? Then WHY IN THE HELL DOES IT COST THE SAME AS THE ENGINE POWERED ONE? Are they trying to make me kill the planet? Because I will!

Screw it, I can't do this GW imitation crap.

(HEAD ESPLODE)
geez! at that price you could probly pay scientists to turn you into some mode of transportation that runs on awesome sauce or bacon

Finally an electric car that the average person can afford *sarcasm*

@4 It's the new jetpack, the Salamipack!

According to mythbusters, this might work. Edible solid rocket fuel FTW.

too bad it looks like a boxy piece of shit

You mean I'm not average? *double sarcasm*

Boxy piece of shit with grills.

I'm getting mine done up with wrecking-ball proof wallpaper. Have at me Batman, I think you will find that my car is superior, old bean!

I've got to stop posting over and over. Apologies.

...because if it's the two things the super-mega-wealthy are concerned with, it's fuel economy and the environment.

(notice the solar-powered mansion in the background with all the recycle bins stacked up in the 10 car garage just out of frame)

God bless the rich, each and every one. Because we all know that if they lost everything they had the world would cease to exist as we know it and all of their money and opulent possessions would instantly evaporate and cease to exist. No??? Hmmm....where's my pitchfork and torch again? Eh...forget it, I like eatin cake.

@12 they care about looking like they care about caring.

The car I want:

@13 agreed that is all they care about. Looking like they care when all of mankind knows that they really don't

Is it me, or has anyone else realized the electricity to power electric cars has to come from somewhere... ie, we're still killing something somewhere. On top of that... now you're power bill is gonna go thru the roof. Electric cars are not a new clean solution.

With that being said, I rode in on an ass this morning.... yo' mama's ass!!!

@16 with that assumption, then nothing is a clean source of energy. Seeing as electricity is necassary, and any form of energy can be converted into it (as far as I'm aware), then under your assumption no known source of energy is viable. Seeing as how that isn't true, and fuel cells used in these cars are cleaner (produce less waste product) than engines in previous models, these cars are a more efficient form of transport. Also, I think Penn & Teller agree. But 'global warming' is a parascientific blunder.

@ 13 & 15 its funny because they really dont care about the things they say they care about because if they really cared about it then they would have feeling's so if they keep the illusion of not careing about anything then they can make money while the rest of us live in poverty only able to afford a damn 89 toyota corola....just sayin...because i care

@18 I can't even afford that. But I actually don't agree with this huge rant. So up yours, semi-rich boy.

@19 your comment hurt's in a bad way not a good one...just sayin(P.S. i sell deap fried water bears and horse wigs)

either way, it's still ugly

"with" should be "which"

Some of you jolly good chaps need to install a spell-checker into your Firefoxes for the sake of my environment (and if you're using IE then you seriously need to die).

@23 dont you have some overtly and explicitly sexual spartens to lead to their death?...just sayin

Also, it seems like the government finally caught up with Stompy McStompster. I call first dibs on his third gonad, for the purposes of scientific research (and sandwich filler).

@24: Like I was just sayin': not spartens, spar-elevens. Mine go to eleven.

@26 vou le vou quoo cheay eveq muh?...just sayin

@20 umm, sorry. I didn't realise that I sounded so serious. P.S. I don't have a job. But I was offered by some drunken eastern european chick to tour with Opeth. Oh yeah. Also if we can do imagine better than a perfect circle then we can tour with them too.

@Leonidas, I have firefox, I just can't be arsed to either get a spellchecker (cheaters way out) or learn to spell (but I'll try to do a little better).

But I don't muck up on simple words. So let me off and I'll...

Wait...

Let me off?

What am I expecting you to do about it?

Not in a 'what are you going to do about it' sort of way, but why the hell did I jump to some ridiculous apology? As if I expect you to punish my incorrect grammar with harsh beatings of some kind.

Wait.

It's all coming back...

NO DADDY NO!

It looks just like a 9 volt battery.

More than $380,000. So the super rich can ignore the fact that they basically keep the oil industry afloat, to fund their yacht fleet, and pretend, for a couple of months (until something else comes into vogue) that they're going green. Yay! Everybody gets to have fun!

What about the super rich who can only afford one of these and will have to settle with it for the rest of their life?

Heheheh, settle with a goddamn phantom.

I will hire you I like 100% make it 101% ...no I am just playing we will stick with the 100%. Send me ua staff and what parts u are thinking of cleaning.
if u what the cleaning job or a body guard...h..a that would mean Ill have to train u and stuff....no lets stick with the cleaning job.

Luxury expense by its very nature negates any attempt to "conserve" or "be efficient" by any stretch of the imagination. An electric counterpart of a Rolls Royce is in direct conflict with everything it established itself as for the last 50 years. Automobile Fail.

when will I be able to get my hand on a car like this one? Great post
