HOLY CARP!!! Posts: 10,491 Group: Members Member #447 Joined: April 12, 2007	Tesla Model S
	Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis

The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

That's the Fisker Karma. Not a bad looking car, pre-ignition: Of course, exotic cars catching fire are not limited to electric cars: there's also the Ferrari 458 Italia: And the Lamborghini Aventador:
