This car simply fascinates me. In California, it’ll cost about 25 grand after federal and state tax credits. About 8 hours to charge it at home, 30 minutes at the charging stations Nissan is installing in the four states it which it will initially be sold.  If Zipcar in NYC gets one, I’ll be first in line.

So it is official – Nissan makes the only two cars I would have if I needed a car.

The thing that fascinates me most? McNish’s Audi R18 LeMans car is a turbodiesel – very unusual as most racing cars run on something similar to jet fuel. It’s a V6 in fact, turbocharged to within an inch of its life.

Rose to prominence as a Kissinger deputy:

Lawrence S. Eagleburger, a troubleshooting diplomat and senior foreign policy adviser to presidents who served the country for more than 40 years, including 42 days as secretary of state at the close of President George H. W. Bush’s term, died on Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. He was 80.

I recall that, days after the towers came down, he jovially said New York City was “not the sort of place” he liked to spend time. Taken in context, his comments made it clear there weren’t enough white people here for him.

Fuck you Larry. Fuck you and all your GOP buddies grown fat and rich off our taxes.
