:lol: You just can't make this stuff up. I wasn't sure whether to put this in the Black Hole or Anything Auto, but since it came from the automotive/business section of a publication, here it is in AA. I guess the auto designers will have to go back to the drawing board on this one and do a little more idiot proofing before the car's public release. http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070407/AUTO01/704070338/1148
:lol:

I'm certainly not a Bush fan, but to be fair, he doesn't strike me as a car guy. And I probably would have headed for the first port I saw too. I'm sure he would have figured it out if Moneylally didn't step in.

I agree with Echo... not a Bush fan (difference from Bush I'm conservative and he isn't.) So, the President walks up to a car he has never seen before and looks for a place to plug in the power cord and you think the car isn't idiot proof enough? So, you walked up to your car and knew where everything on it was and how it worked, you are way ahead of the rest of us.

Uhh, why does Ford have a socket installed on a hydrogen tank that when you insert a standard electrical cord into it, it explodes?

That's certainly a Bold Move.

Guess it depends on how much that hydrogen port looks like an electrical socket. Then again, considering it was a photo op, he'd have looked like a doof as he stood there with the cord in his hand trying to figure out where the damn thing plugged in anyway, so it's really a no-win situation.
