<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Star is driving a converted electric car]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by caniscandida http://www.grist.org/article/tom-hanks-ev-supporter-and-fiend-for-beef-jerky/ Mon, 05 Mar 2007 01:23:15 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/tom-hanks-ev-supporter-and-fiend-for-beef-jerky/1 Taurus-Littrow Valley??

I had no idea there were cars of any kind on the Moon.  Who drives them?

From the AC Propulsion eBox page:
<<
The xB is huge inside so it meets the needs of a lot of people and it appeals to fleets. Scion is a Toyota brand and the Scion xB is built with Toyota quality. Not everyone likes the looks of the xB, but as the basis for a great EV conversion, the xB has the look of a winner.
>>

What disarming candor, regarding the xB's hopelessly clunky appearance.  No wonder Tom Hanks is only using his for special missions.

"It appeals to fleets" is an interesting idea, in spite of the inelegant wording; what kinds of fleets?  One can imagine there are businesses that depend on deliveries or other kinds of shipments which might find these EVs quite convenient.

As for the beef jerky habit: Hmmm, does he know where that stuff comes from?

Chickens are our cousins! So are other sensitive animals! Enough is enough! No more factory farms!
