I picked this image up at 8pm thinking it was borderline, then at 11pm the driver there - Ford CEO Jacques Nasser - was rumored to be dismissed. I guess that pushes it over the edge.

But it's still the vehicle that interests me. It's called "Think Neighbor" and Nasser is driving the first one off the assembly line. It's entirely electric, aimed at "golfers, residents of gated communites and towns with streets with a 25 mile an hour speed limit and college students and faculty who need transportation around campus."

Okay. But here's the strange part: it comes in a two-seat model that starts at $6000, and a four-seater with a full array of options can cost more than $8000.

$8000 for a 25mph golf cart? Is this what got the guy fired? How many of these can they possibly sell? Is it me or is it him? It's him, isn't it?
