Celebrity OOPS: Big boy ‘Terminator’ Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger buys tiny Tesla Roadster

In my opinion, the hottest sports car making headway in the green exotics market right now that is the most fun to drive is the newly converted Lotus Elise being retro-manufactured by the inspired and inspiring car company Tesla. However, the car body itself presents some serious ergonomic and spacial challenges to many individuals who would otherwise love to drive a hot little exotic.

Take the "Terminator" California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example. He, who is proud to support Tesla manufacturing in the celebrity-rich state, may be one shining example of a person making poor consumer spending decisions… as a man who may have bought something that does not fit.

The Tesla Roadster is a little too little for Mr. Maria Shriver. Had he endorsed the product and bought the tiny exotic sports car model for her to zip back and forth solo to Tennis games, we would not have anything to say. However, as big as he is, the celebrity action hero needs to use his entire cinematic stunt repertoire of postural athletic training to get in and out of the low and "unforgiving access" vehicle. [Picture in your head the Cyborg running man trying to squeeze into a clown car or to perch atop a roller skate and you'll quickly understand why we think the car choice, though noble, was a celebrity OOPS to make.

It might have been a better fiscal decision to wait for the right model fit for his frame to be made, like the new Tesla S coming in 2010. As the new sedan will offer seven passengers seating, the way we measure, it will probably hold Arnold, his Kennedy gene bride, and maybe three suitcases (or another couple if they are heading out on a double date).

Could this shopping blunder give us all a glimpse of why the great state of California is going broke today? Because they bought that size 2 when they really wear a size 8?

Celebrity OOPS: Thomas Jane gets DUI and 120MPH speeding ticket in Maserati

Celebrity Thomas Jane, star of the major motion picture "The Punisher", husband to wife Rosanna Arquette, and new front man for the HBO hit series "HUNG" is one of the latest to be caught by the California Highway Police in a celebrity OOPS incident (the real CHP "Chips guys" -- for those of us who are old enough to remember from Paunch and John TV days with a smiling and tan Eric Estrada).

According to TMZ who began reporting on the story back when Jane was first arrested in 2008,
The Punisher" star's lawyer was in court [this Spring]... defending Jane against charges of DUI and driving with a suspended license.

Thomas Jane [just is one of] the latest driving-challenged celeb to be hit with a DUI...pleaded not guilty to all charges in a Kern County, Calif. courtroom. The CHP pulled over [the Hung star] back in 2008 after they say he was hauling ass on the freeway in a late-model Maserati. Cops say he flunked several field sobriety tests.

Reports of Jane's drinking problems began to come out in 2007 after the actor, while hosting an introductory segment on the "SCREAM" awards seemed to be intoxicated.

Court records from 2009 indicated that at the time Jane was arrested, he was driving on a suspended license. Even smarter, the star's blood alcohol level was above the .08 legal limit. Even wilder, Jane was caught on the freeway doing a buck twenty in his smoking hot, drop dead sexy big boy toy, a Maserati Quattroporte sedan. That's why the story caught our attention.
