Clooney hearts his Tango

Here's the worst kept secret in the world: a man's ego is often helplessly wrapped up in what kind of car he drives. For many guys out there, driving a three-wheeled electric car seems emasculating. That's why it's all the more impressive when a guy like George Clooney drives a rinky-dink all-electric 1-seater to work every morning. That's because he truly believes in getting away from oil-- plus he's waiting on for his Tesla Roadster to be built.
Clooney knows that his Hollywood jet-setting makes him an easy target for critics, but he still believes in making small steps towards reducing his carbon footprint. For this reason, he has been driving the Tango proudly since '05. OK, maybe proudly isn't the right word -- let's go with faithfully. From his interview with The Times Online:
"It can be embarrassing," says Clooney. "There's nowhere to hide, because it's just me behind the wheel and there isn't enough space for anyone else... But it goes from zero to 60mph in four seconds, which is faster than virtually every other car on the road, so I can take off with a burst of speed if I get too many insults."
