An 18 year old Michael Jackson fan has come up with something sweet that can become a regular tradition if the Jackson family would permit it. But considering they are still squabbling over the riches of the departed pop icon, it may take some time for them to even consider it.

The whole idea was conceptualized by Eric Calisto, an 18 year old fan who has created a website that allows Michael Jackson fans to put their name, business, or website on a Michael Jackson tribute smart car. Fans will also have a personalized flower, delivered to the Michael Jackson memorial, once each year, forever.

The smart car is a great concept where die-hard fans of Michael Jackson can endlessly pay tribute to their idol in memory. While it seems remote to date in getting something concrete for it, you have to admit the idea is really something touching and will be appreciated by the former King of Pop from above.

In a move that is expected to help in Daimler’s shift towards the development of electric vehicles, Tesla Motors and the German-based company have reached an agreement to which Tesla will be supplying lithium-ion batteries, chargers and other components for the electric version of the Smart.

Daimler had debuted a gasoline-powered version of its Fortwo model in the United States in early 2008. It sold 24,622 of those cars last year.

Tesla has been involved with Daimler for more than a year, but neither company would confirm the deal before Tuesday. Musk also said the deal with Daimler wasn’t exclusive, and that Tesla was looking for other automaking partners.
