The Tesla Roadster burns up highways, but not fossil fuels!

When it was first announced, the Tesla Roadster made serious waves.  A sports car that is also green?  It seems illogical, but apparently Tesla was able to combine 0-60 in 4 seconds with 250 miles of range to create an electric super car, the first of its kind.  Of course, it is $109,000, but if you want an electric sports car, you’re going to have to pay, and you need to order soon.  Tesla Motors has announced they will stop taking orders for the Tesla Roadster in order to concentrate on the Tesla Model S electric sedan.

The Tesla Model S will retail for $58,000 and will seat up to 7 adults.  The base model will have a range of 160 miles, while more expensive models will have ranges up to 300 miles, depending on configuration, battery power, and engine size.  The Tesla Model S will debut in mid-2012 and is expected to sell up to 20,000 units in the United States.

The Tesla Roadster has sold 1650 cars since its debut.  If you haven’t gotten one by now and you don’t think you’ll be able to get your order in before the deadline, don’t worry.  For a mere $600,000 you can buy a Porsche 918 electric/gas hybrid sports car instead!

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
