PREFACE: I'm not anti-environment. I'm pro-using your brain.
I've seen so many ironic things regarding "Save The Planet!" and "Be Green!" and "Hummers Suck!", I figured a thread dedicated to their...ahem...'genius' would be fun.
I'll start.
Here we have a package offered by Sam's Club for the 2007 Holiday (screw it..) CHRISTMAS season:
-=LITHIUM POWERED ELECTRIC CAR WITH VIP SPACE SHUTTLE LAUNCH EXPERIENCE=-
The Lithium Powered Electric Car Package Includes:
Not seeing it yet? Hmmm...okay, maybe some of the package description would help:
"Sometimes it does take a rocket scientist. Travel to work in an almost silent car, passing gas stations, enjoying your favorite music, in a fully climate controlled, 100% electric car at 70 miles per hour. You can now own a true technological marvel and see how battery technology developed for the space program can power you through a city and help to save a planet. Hybrid Technologies® and Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex® have teamed up to offer this unique Once-In-A-Lifetime package.
Hybrid Technologies starts with a smart fortwo® and “amps up†the car by removing the gasoline engine and replacing the fossil fuel systems with a Lithium Ion Electric Drive system. You will receive the only STS 128 to be built by Hybrid Technologies.
You have a range of over 100 miles and if you need fuel you don’t panic you just plug in. Hybrid Technologies developed space based battery technology into a 100% electric car. The Hybrid Technologies Smart fortwo is changing the way people think about commuting."
A battery-powered vehicle standing next to one of the least fuel-efficient vehicles ever constructed by man!
You're killin' us, Sam. Just slaying the whole room.
