This was funny... my neighbor is a die-hard gearhead. He's building a twin-turbo Malibu drag car in his garage, and has his buddies over with their hot rods to wrench every weekend. But his wife, who is a nurse, spends a lot of time driving, and they just took delivery of a new Tesla for her. Very good timing too, as they ordered the car before the S hit the F as far as gas prices here in California - you can't touch a Tesla right now.

He was walking his dog past my garage yesterday as I was changing oil on one of my bikes. Sensing that I would pull his man-card for buying electric, he said "Hey, look, you probably saw our new Tesla... Yeah, I know I'm a car guy, but this thing is the quickest car I've ever driven!"

I told him all was well, that I had ridden a new Zero electric bike at a demo recently, and saw 70mph before my brain knew what happened. I was hooked, other than the price tag. His man card was secure.
