So there I was walking the halls of the SEMA show when, from nowhere at all, I was assaulted by a hogpen of ugly cars. Turns out, every one of these nasties was there to "make green cool." Or at least that's what the banner said.
Truly awful autos after the jump. Look out!
This awful beast tried a sneak attack from behind, but before any damage was done I was able to pull its cord and deactivate its 1.21-jigowatt flux capacitor. This is how it looked just before I fully incapacitated the electric hulk by asking it drive around the block.
I snapped the above shots of these cars in retreat after catching them raiding my bag for AAA batteries. Smacked them down with a solid shot from trusty Dell laptop.
Then there was this guy. Don't let his squashed-in-a-vice styling fool you, the Tango is, well, just plain nasty. But I just pushed him over and walked away.
The Wave actually tried to seduce me with its claims of a 170-mile range and 80-mph top speed. Then, like a glass of ice water in the face, I realized this would require magic. And magic, friends, simply isn't real.

Being green hasn't been this cool since Captain Planet...THE POWER IS YOURS!

I think someone parked a Camaro there too.
