Today is your lucky day, dear reader. We have another contest on our hands and this time, there’s a catch. We have two wireless mice up for review from Road Mice, a Four Door Media company. One is a black Corvette and the other is the 2009 Camaro. Pretty rad.

Rather than review a mouse myself, I’m enlisting you to review it. Leave a comment with a valid name, e-mail address and a good reason why you want to review one of these. Two people will be chosen at random to receive the mice. You write a three paragraph (or more) review and send it to us and you get to keep the mice. Think of it as “citizen journalism” or “unpaid writing,” depending on how cynical you are.

UPDATED: Contest ends on December 31st, 2008. Start your engines! More details about the mice after the jump.

Nothing beats driving 60 miles for one hour only to end up stopping for an 8 hour charge as you run up the electric bill of some random stranger. Not even Chevy can deny the satisfaction of only having to stop at a gas station once a month, so it’s officially announced the Chevy Volt due out on the streets around late 2010.

If you couldn’t guess it by the name, Volt, it’s the first official plug-in hybrid from a major American manufacturer. Chevrolet is promising costs of just 2 cents per mile, which certainly will put less of a burden on your wallet than any traditional foreign car.  It’s about time some major American car manufacturers stepped into the hybrid race, but I’m still waiting on the elimination of fossil-fuel operated vehicles altogether.
