    Just saw my first Tesla in Boulder Colorado. WOW! Pulled up next to it at several stoplights in a row. Driver said he was from Golden and his was the second in Colorado. Very quiet! Did not get a change to drag race him with my 2004 Prius,(rush hour traffic).

    I WANT ONE NOW!!!

    When the Formerly Big 3 actual put out a car that I want, I will support their bailout, until then, no thanks. Saw a bet earlier that Toyota would have a PHEV before GM cancelled their Volt program. Looking more likely every day.

    Yes, the Tesla does look very exotic. It makes me drool*

    * a lot of things make me drool. I really should see a doctor about that

    As a follow up....

    Thanks Peak Oil, I didn't realize that it might have been a tester car.

    One of the Manufacturing Directors at my place of work has a green Tesla. Very cool car, I drool at it everytime I walk by it in the parking lot (which is about 6 or more times a day as I walk between buildings).

    Boys and their toys.

    If it makes you feel any better, it's not comfortable to sit in.

    And the drivers look downright silly trying to get in and out of the Tesla Roadster. It is not a graceful procedure.

    There is actually a recommended order of body parts for getting in.
    Foot, butt, head, other foot.

    Might have been, but there are now several orange ones tooling around.

    Look for pictures of a bright red one on EVnut.com next week. :D I finally get to drive one. Yay. :cheer2:
