Thames Valley police are trying out the Mitsubishi i Miev as their next generation "green" squad car, but they've run into a tiny flaw: They can't use the blues and twos because it wears down the batteries.Just as well. With a maximum range of 100 miles (if you're incredibly lucky), a top speed of 80 mph with a following wind, and an acceleration of 0 to 60 in... a while, the only motorists in fear of getting nicked by Thames Valley will be driving G-Wizs.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
