Brother, Can You Spare $100K?

So, okay, I'm not so rich, and likely never will be. But if ever I am, I've decided exactly what I'm buying: A Tesla Motors roadster.

Seriously.

Have you seen these things? I came across some talking head from the company on a Discovery Channel show, I think, and I was all, "Tesla Motors? What's that all about? Electric cars? Feh."

Then I looked 'em up online.

Beautiful. Practical. Powerful. The only problem is that you'd have trouble going more than 250 miles in a day. Troublesome if I wanted to drive home to Pittsburgh.

Oh, and they cost a hundred thousand dollars.

I wonder if, to sweeten the deal, they'd throw in a second battery, so you can go on longer trips?

Still. Sign me up, baby.
