Jay Leno Grabs the Wheel of the Tiny, Fast Tango EV
By Chris Weiss
This flattened-out, cardboard-cutout-looking electric is the Tango EV, which Jay Leno is enjoying in the picture above. It might look like your average sluggish urban commuter, but this little ride hauls: just 4 seconds brings you up to 60 mph, according to company. It tops out over 130 mph thanks to a 600 kW motor that delivers 1,000 lb-ft of torque the minute you accelerate.
Tango states that the car is actually 5 inches slimmer than many motorcycles and is optimized for weaving in and out of traffic. Certainly sounds fun, but for a price tag of $150, 000 one might expect a little more style than this performance-optimized clown car offers.

Electric will overtake gasoline as the truth about Saudis wells bottoming out gets around! Asians also demand a far larger share at a higher price than Americans can pay with a dollar so weak it no longer commands 80% of world's resources, required to sustain Yankee Status Quo! The Chinese Yuan has caught up and passed the U.S.dollar in strength and now commands more and more of finite word resources leaving Yankee Doodle with less! Much less! He can no longer afford the cars he builds domestically, and stuffs his great fatted ass into foreign jobs to save a buck at the gas pumps now! In a Decade he will become more vegetarian, slimmer, and ride electric bullet trains to survive the onslaught of Asian demands on world markets – India for example, vegans with no birth control will soon compete with the Great Hulking American Neanderthals ans eat at their feed troughs right before their very eyes! The bomb of far greater potency than all America's Nuclear might, the Chinese "Population Bomb" a controlled explosion, designed to take over the world, is being unleashed as we speak, and it will rape the world's very finite resources, and Yankee Doodle with them! We are defenseless against this force of nature being manipulated by greater intellects than ours! Jay Leno, a dinosaur in modern times – too much money and foolish preoccupations – he could champion better things for Americans, G d knows they need the leadership to safer answers now in their moment of depression, to be followed by their falling to "Third World" ship or worse! SEE: http://uprooted.jessicareeder.com/2009/09/detroit… for America's future, Capitalism's final monuments to what happened here! Jay Leno – A child of the corporatist, in a fool's paradise, preaching nonsense to the masses, fat assed Yankee Doodle supreme! and about to pay astounding prices for his precious gasoline in a world of increasing scarcity!
