The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued By The Drum

GM vice chairman Bob Lutz came on The Colbert Report last night to talk about the Chevy Volt. Hilarity ensued! I wonder if women are going to get offended by any of the comments Lutz made about the car being for "crunchy" ladies? Hmmmm.......lets watch!

After some spy shots over on a certain movie set and some leaked photos 2 weeks ago, this morning GM revealed what could, potentially, totally change the face of the American automotive industry: the Chevy Volt. Just a recap, the car promises 40 miles on a single charge (which you just plug into the wall at home) and after that, the combustion engine kicks in to power a generator (not the car itself) to recharge the batteries. Pretty cool, huh? Check out more details over at Autoblog here and check out the gallery here for more pics. I'm seriously considering getting one of these bad boys when they hit showrooms Nov. 2010, fasho! The future is here!

So Shia got his hand smashed and they decided to write that into the script so the production is moving along and Transformers Live Action Movie Blog has been keeping track of everything. This week, the production has been filming some scenes in downtown Long Beach including the awesome action scene you can check out in the video embedded up there. Pretty cool, huh? It's always cool to see shit blowing up. And although I couldn't find embeddable video to post, you can click here to check out some more footage of the cars driving down the street in the LBC, including a surprise: it seems Chevy has let Mr. Bay use the upcoming, top secret, game changing Volt in the feature. The final production car is supposed to be revealed in November at the LA Auto Show but it's shown up on the internets a couple of months early. If Chevy can live up to the projects lofty promises, I think I'm looking at my next car. Sure, it's super good for the environment, gets 40 miles on a single charge, hardly uses any gas. But the coolest part? It was in Transformers 2! Be sure to hit up TFLAMB for a crapload more pics and info on the film!
