    Finally...

    ..., a hybrid car that could get me to go green!

    The link is a 12 minute video of Jay Leno test driving his McLaren P1 at the Surrey, England factory.

    And how a $1 mil + car is delivered to the dealership...

    Or maybe forget the GREEN idea, go faster, and buy American! Just have to pick a different color and trim package, "Because the new red, white, and blue World's Fastest Edition of the supercar is limited to just three units—and it’s already sold out."

      You'd think for that price, the dealer would get permission from the city to modify his curb. I wonder how much that white slip cover costs on its own. I noticed it was zippered closed. I was thinking, is he going to whip out a box cutter to open it?

        Yah I'm still debating on whether to get one or the sawstop.
        I reject your reality and substitute my own.

              A couple of years ago a guy was drag racing an old Datsun B-210 he had converted to electric and was whooping everybody. Notice I said whooping, not whipping? because there is a difference. So, electric cars can be very fast and with Jays money you can buy a lot of fast packed in good looking car. I think the car was called the White Zombie, google it for a look.

                He's got quite the negative reputation in the car industry by ripping off clients.

                  He does have a fast car tho. His shop is just down I-10 from Katy, about 20 miles west. Very discrete, Hennessy name on the building but no pictures of race cars or a sign proclaiming Home of the world's fastest production cars or anything like that.
