16 Fisker Cars Pay Ultimate Price
In a dramatic show of caring and community awareness, sixteen battery-powered Fisker Karma automobiles self-combusted in New Jersey during Hurrican Sandy, apparently in an attempt to generate heat to warm up the electricity-less victims of the town of Port Newark, New Jersey.
Although a relatively new car company, and financed by a bailout orchestrated by the Obama administration, Fisker is developing a reputation for such charitable acts, with several previous cars self-combusting in order to warm up their owners.
“Sometimes the heater just isn’t enough on a cold New Jersey morning,” stated former Fisker owner Bill Maxwell – “The cars seem to recognize that more is needed, and they just up and start burning, providing a warm, orange glow that the whole neighborhood can gather around.”
Sheri Hitcherdiffle, another Fisker owner whose Karma provided her with extra heat one morning, said that she will never buy another brand of automobile, even though her previous and current Fisker Karmas cost her well over one hundred thousand dollars each.

So these cars were developed to combat global warming but can’t tolerate the conditions that global warming supposedly creates.
Yep there’s a liberal involved somewhere here.

Obumfarts dream of a green car future up in flames. But not to worry, give him 4 more years and he is bound to pick a winner.

This will undoubtably be the next ‘hot item’ broadcast on the MSM TV “News”. Immediately following their exhaustive coverage of “Fast & Furious”, the Benghazi massacre and the multiple felony violations of campaign finance law perpetrated by the Obama organization.

on a side note the water was just below the roof line of the cars and that stretched all the way to the railroad cars in the background. that dock is actually .9 of a mile long and 65% of it stored brand new cars… Lexus, Nissan… all of them Kaput.

More bad news for Fisker. Just goes to show you that when it rains, it burns.

I know it’s wrong, but I’m still belly laughing at this. Give ‘em heat, Obama. What a fool.

Looks like Sheri Hitcherdiffle (!) got fisked good and proper.
“well over 100K EACH”…unbelievable.
@dba, you can see some of the other vehicles in the photo above.

So, are these “Fiskers” available in any other colors than “charcoal?”

I wonder if the EU will charge them some outrageous sum in carbon credits for all the CO, SO2, HCl, and PM10 emissions these things just polluted Jersey with. Oxymoronic, I know “polluted Jersey,” but hey, they’re used to it.

Maybe Obama can jump-start (heh) the Libyan economy by getting Fiskar to open an Electric Car Bomb factory in Benghazi. Those electric cars are so quiet we’d never hear them coming.

I believe the port had 12,000 cars and several other cars have also burned down. Why do bloggers try and single out a car brand. there were several Toyota’s burning, Volt and also Lexus. Get your facts right guys. Looks like Fisker did not give you advertising money so you are writing negative stories and not reporting the full one.

This makes it easier for the rescue helicopter to spot your charred remains should you ever get caught in high water and have to stand on the roof of your vehicle until help arrives.
