In my opinion, the hottest sports car making headway in the green exotics market right now that is the most fun to drive is the newly converted Lotus Elise being retro-manufactured by the inspired and inspiring car company Tesla. However, the car body itself presents some serious ergonomic and spacial challenges to many individuals who would otherwise love to drive a hot little exotic.
Take the "Terminator" California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example. He, who is proud to support Tesla manufacturing in the celebrity-rich state, may be one shining example of a person making poor consumer spending decisions… as a man who may have bought something that does not fit.
The Tesla Roadster is a little too little for Mr. Maria Shriver. Had he endorsed the product and bought the tiny exotic sports car model for her to zip back and forth solo to Tennis games, we would not have anything to say. However, as big as he is, the celebrity action hero needs to use his entire cinematic stunt repertoire of postural athletic training to get in and out of the low and "unforgiving access" vehicle. [Picture in your head the Cyborg running man trying to squeeze into a clown car or to perch atop a roller skate and you'll quickly understand why we think the car choice, though noble, was a celebrity OOPS to make.
It might have been a better fiscal decision to wait for the right model fit for his frame to be made, like the new Tesla S coming in 2010. As the new sedan will offer seven passengers seating, the way we measure, it will probably hold Arnold, his Kennedy gene bride, and maybe three suitcases (or another couple if they are heading out on a double date).
Could this shopping blunder give us all a glimpse of why the great state of California is going broke today? Because they bought that size 2 when they really wear a size 8?
