There are now 200 high-performance electric Tesla Roadsters in customers’ hands, but still at least 1,000 waiting for their keys. This situation is producing pent-up demand: in September, some eager beaver paid $160,000 for a used example of this $109,000 sports car. I encountered my first East...

First we discovered Lotus Exiges are standard issue for Imperial Stormtroopers, and now that Vader blasts around in a little Ariel Atom. What next, JarJar in a septic truck? Or maybe an Ewok in a fur-covered Caddy with fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview? Oooh -- and a Princess Leia in a golden bik...

This is a picture of an Imperial Stormtrooper driving a Lotus Exige. And you know, it really got me thinking -- why am I hanging with this ragtag bag of dicks in the Rebel Alliance -- these guys don't pay shit. I mean, Jesus, I have to use public transportation.
