I have been lusting after a small electric vehicle I got to sit in during a trip through Spokane, WA in 2004. It's now commercially available, but way too expensive. It appeals to my sense of “small is beautiful” and my desire to avoid burning fossil fuels just to haul my lousy carcass to and fro.

You may have already figured out that the first “Tango” vehicle was purchased by George Clooney:
    4/27/2006: George Clooney and his Tango are featured in the Green Issue of Vanity Fair.
    “If you're doing a movie about oil consumption and corruption, you can't just talk the talk,”
    Clooney–who drove his fully-electric, zero-emission, two-seater Tango to the cover
    shoot–told Leibovitz and her crew. “You gotta walk the walk.”
