Karma

The Fisker Karma stopped right beside me at the red light.  My mode of transportation, a $79 bicycle, his a $100,000+ electric hybrid automobile.  Same red light, same wait.  But then, in all honesty, when the light changed, I was looking at his rear end two blocks down the street before I had gone 100 yards.

So why do I mention this?  Because I am envious?  Not in the least; but because it is the first time I had seen an actual Finnish electric auto in our town.  Pretty thing, I'll give them that.

Here is a picture and further info if you have not seen one.

That's a lot of money to spend on a car. Electric or not.

Designed for the man with more dollars than sense. (In my opinion)

That's never been my favorite auto body shape...I'll hold out for a 1939 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith...

Lin, way too much money to spend on a car, imo.

Chuck, just so.

Grace, my guess? You may be "holding out" for a very long time, indeed. (But my taste runs more to your choice as well.)

It can be had for less than that Karma darma thingy: http://classiccars.com/listings/find/1939/rolls-royce/silver-wraith

Grace, been shopping, eh? I read somewhere that some have sold for as little as 50-60K. Bet you can't get your Silver Wraith for that, though.
:-D
