Gaia, You Magnificent Bastard

Don't take it to a car wash.

If I was a firefighter I would refuse to put out Fiskers on fire.

Fiat sells Fiat 500 Abarth models, Fisker should sell Fisker Karmas Abitch models.

Ha! Karma's Abitch and then it bursts into flames...

Protip: Lithium ion batteries are highly flammable when mixed with water.

Tragic.
What will they use as the time machine in the remake of Back to the Future starring Ashton Kutcher and Justin Beiber?

@Bruce - If I was a firefighter I'd turn a big hose on a dry one and see if it lights! :-)

Eli: So that part of the plot thins. Mind you, I wouldn't have left a regular car in the path of Sandy if I'd had any choice.

The real mystery was why those cars were left to their fate by owners who presumably had the sense to know better.

Liberals never pay for anything if there's any way to stick someone else with the bill. It is well known, for example that Pierre Elliott Trudeau, heir to a chain of gas stations and devotee of the Church of Rome, never paid for his own supper in his life and was buried with his confirmation money in his shirt pocket.

Now that global warming isn't a useful stick to beat over the heads of their neighbours, the champagne socialists who bought the things no longer had any more use for them than you or I would. The plan must have been to fiddle their insurance companies out of the price of a real car.

You're not fooling anybody but yourselves, lads.

Nice headline, Kate.

Yea the Karmas found Karma.......

Dale.

But , but, Owebamba promised "this is the moment the oceans ceased to rise".
Obama lied Karmas fried.

On the down side, electric cars set on fire when wet.

On the up side, it will be a "warm wet".

Clearly none of you were reading between the lines when Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans, and didn't get that he intended to do it by lining the entire east coast of CONUS with a levee built out of hundred-thousand-dollar taxpayer subsidized exploding cars.

Any car named Fisker should be burned anyway. True Karma as only rich treehuggers could afford one. They have now contributed to Gobal Warming. Heh Heh.

Why, I drive a Moonbiot!

It runs on smuggery. Occasionally I have it to show it my Starbucks card and reassure it that I do truly believe in Global Warming.

Let us all hope they will do the right thing and buy carbon credits to offset all that combustion.

We can just wish, man.

In all honesty the only reason I hate electric cars is because of the ton of taxpayer's dollars that are given away in hopes (and changey)that the enviro-leftoid dreams of the few are somehow achieved.

If the technology gets to the point that they are viable then they will sell on their own and investors and researchers will be rewarded by their successes.

My wish remains the same, man.

I am seeing a new warning label on the drivers side visor.

Warning!! IT MAY BE DANGEROUS TO LEAVE OR DRIVE THIS VEHICLE IN THE RAIN.

Ahh electric cars

the new Pinto's of the auto industry

Some fun and funny comments here..... keep 'um comin'.

Wow, a car that can burn underwater and destroy its own evidence! Don't let the Kennedys hear about this.

DrD; the only one that mattered has his own Karma. ;)

My Grade 6 grandaughter knows lithium and water actually mix very well,causing lots of smoke and flame.Great for starting the B'BQue.But then there is no actual science involved in GW from the alarmists side.
errrrrr Kate...isn't Gaia a she?

@Dick Slater
Yep. I wouldn't have left my car either, but I'm guessing people thought the storm surge wouldn't be as bad as they thought. There's quite a few cases of Li-ion batteries catching fire like that and burning. Can't find the link, but there's several cases of chevy volts doing the same thing after having been in a crash and put into a storage yard uncovered where the battery was cracked and exposed to the rain.

The hubby works in a fortune 400 company and is in charge of the server backup and battery redundancy system for the site. One of the big problems that he had to get across to the flappy headed fools was putting batteries in the basement was a bad idea, especially if there was flooding. The next thing these guys wanted to do, was use a water based suppression system. Failure to read the memo briefing is a bad thing.

Causes Plasma burns if exposed to water.

Lithium + H2O , not recommended for living to old age.

I think Fisker started out building submarines in the UK. They were junk so they sold a few to Canada. They forgot to warn them not to get the batteries wet. We all know how that ended.

Fiskers are proven self starters in the wet, bug or feature? No doubt insurance companies on the hook for them will have now drawn the obvious conclusion.
Wonder if they were just coming in from the factory in Finland or just in a local distribution facility in transit to dealers in areas densely populated by rich envirosuckers.
