funny cars

READ THIS PART LAST!
sorry i uploaded in the wrong order. is there a way to manipulate the order of the photos you upload or are you at the mercy of blogspot? anyway, mike mckenna in kailua is selling these weird vans.







driving into kailua today i saw a white version of this car. its called a tesla. i'm not sure if thats the brand name or the model name, but its the worlds first commercial, fully electric sports car. i first heard about it in a magazine article about its inventor. hes some eccentric, brainiac from south africa.

then i saw this little thing driving up the pali coming back from kailua. i'd seen several around town (and by town i mean "town") and never thought much other than, oh, cute and if you get in a wreck in that thing... i just figured it was a moped wth doors, so i was curious to see how it would handle the climb up the ko'olaus. HOLY SPICOLI the bugger can move. the acceleration was unreal, and the incline was no problem. i checked the smartcar website and found out that they have 70 horse power, which seems manini, but they're so light thats all you really need. especially considering that the average moped that maxes out at 35mph only has 3 horsies!

i must say, today was a good day... for spotting fun cars in K-A-I-L-U-A!
