Jesse James to break land speed record in hydrogen car but says Gore is still "a dork"
Michigan Live caught up with popular custom bike maker and host of Monster Garage, Jesse James, at the Detroit Auto Show Wednesday. Jesse was at AutoWeek's annual design forum awards dinner promoting recycling and talked about his plans to break the land speed record this Spring with his hydrogen gas-fueled "Green Scream." Has Jesse gone green? Not quite.
Jesse says "we all want to go faster and have cooler, neater stuff, so we all have to pay our dues. ... That's just me trying to find some balance. ... I want my kid to be able to drive my 'cuda. So that's my preachy speech." Jesse also says Al Gore is still "a dork" and "I don't want to go to an electric Formula One race."
How about a hybrid Formula One race, Jesse?

Open your mind Jesse. You seem to be comfortable with all kinds of freaks out there, but some guy wants to be green and that's not okay in your book?
Sounds like you have a problem. Maybe you need to stop associating being green with being a pussy. Leno managed it, you can too.

This is just another case of the supposedly open minded counterculture being just as image obsessed and nazified as the ruling class.
Whatever, he doesn't bother me. Doesn't make his work any less cool.
