"Ya - I'm too big for my kaar"

This news is a bit old, but still funny. Can you honestly look at Schwarzenegger's face in the picture above and not laugh? The governor ("Governator" is a tired joke) of the great state of California has decided that he wants to return his Tesla Roadster because it's too small for his "frame." For those of you that aren't car enthusiasts like I am, Tesla is a small but powerful start up company based in California that manufactures nothing but electric sports cars. To help get the company started, the owners approached Schwarzenegger and asked him to tour the manufacturing plant and promote the cars. Being the non-Hummer riding, Prius-loving, Kermit-the-frog green man Schwarzenegger tends to be, he agreed to not only tour the plant but to buy one of the sports cars named the Tesla Roadster. It turns out (and who would have thought?) that a small roadster car is too big for an ex-body builder and now he wants to return it. This type of publicity would be disastrous to the Tesla brand, so let's home Schwarzenegger doesn't terminate (pun intended) his contract with Tesla and keeps the car.

Enjoy.
