Washington’s plan to save US Auto Industry.. Partner with a Foreign Company.

Washington has lost it’s mind and the American people are just as insane for standing by and letting this madness continue..

I was disappointed when the US Administration ousted the CEO of GM yesterday but was shocked to learn what the admins plan was this morning..

Read it HERE

Some highlists or lowlights

1. Chrysler needs a parter.. how about foreign owned Fiat?

2. US Government will stand behind GM Warranty.

3. US Government doesn’t want to be in the auto business.

4. We can not excuse poor decisions

5. Create a new government official, Director of Recovery for Auto Communities and Workers.

 

I think I’ll go BARF now..

Tesla Motors debuts Electric Sedan – Tesla S

Thanks to tech legend, Jason Calacanis of Mahalo.com for inviting me to the a Tesla Motors VIP event held at the Space X facility in Los Angeles, CA. I was excited to see the legendary Tesla Roadster, the worlds first all electric sports car.

 

I need one of these cars! ;)

After having some time to check out the Tesla Roadster, the crowd was shown the new Tesla S Sedan. I have always been excited about the Tesla but having 4 kids, a two seater isn’t very practical.  The Tesla S on the other hand is pretty tempting!

 

Here are the specs that were announced during the unveiling..

Tesla S Sedan

Price: Under $50k

Seating Capacity: 5 to 7 passengers

Range: 300 miles on a single charge

Recharge time: 40 minutes

0 to 60: Under 6 seconds

Top Speed: 130mph

Storage: During the presentation they stated that it could hold a 50″ Plasma TV, a Surfboard and still have room for passengers.

I had to bolt a bit early for another dinner meeting but after I left, the Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger showed up to get a test ride in this impressive vehicle.  Thanks again to Jason Calacanis for the invite!

Text Message Hoax targets Wal-Mart

I received a text message today that was rather alarming..

“Tell everyone not to got to walmart its supposed to be a gang initiation to shoot three women sapd confirmed it”…

The message came from a trusted friend so naturally, I called my friend who is an actual SAPD officer to confirm.. HOAX.. Doesn’t look like this is isolated to south Texas. Saw a story from the Delaware that police are looking into the same hoax there..

Sounds like Walmart is getting PUNKED by Target employees.. 😉
