hooray for old cars!

That's very interesting. Thanks for posting.

It's sad that we haven't progressed much in the electric car realm since then. I think most of that is because of the speeds associated with gas vehicles and the constant "rush mentality" of today's motorists.

I really wonder what it'll take to make today's motorists to realize that getting somewhere fast isn't the best thing for the environment.

It's not even good for them. On a 10 mile rush to pick up the kids. Going sixty takes 10 minutes. To average 60moh in a urban area ia almost impossible with traffic density we have in our over populated America. You would have to drive 70 or more in spots. Probably risking a accident.

Leave only 5 minutes early and you can drive 30mph arrice much more relaxed and in a better mood and travel with much more safety.

Now if you will do that you can go 100% electric for most of the driving.

My plan FIRST PART: use by current Hybrid (I did not make the best choice but a very good one) for 100% use in town until I can get a one with a plug that get 100MPG and then trade for something like a 4th Gen Prius.

SECOND PART: Rent a car when I need to take a vacation trip. I is still at least a hybrid or a blue tech diesel, but one with more room and capable of higher speeds (We have 70mph speed limit out here on interstates, everyone goes 78mph) so I need something that will go 85 to pass etc. and have more room for luggage, maybe a Murano or Hybrid Escape.

This saves my car wear and tear, parking in motel lots, valet parketing all those ding possibilities. No second license plate, Purchase, deprecation etc.

teknOwledge i sure wish I could get your Prius milage.

Here is Jay's video. Cool.

If anyone lives (or visits) the Fort Myers area, the Edison/Ford Estates-museum is a great attraction. It has some of the original electrical motors and batteries on display. It also has an electric car, his light bulbs and much more. Definatley worth a visit. For the wives, there is the garden where edison planted about every plant he could find as he attempted to make rubber for tires without using OIL. He was able to do this in a venture with Firestone and they made tires from a derivative of the goldenrod. Interesting stuff and a piece of american history.

What I really wonder, when will people realize that electric sports cars with 100 percent torque, are going to be much faster than normal ice cars. I dream of that day

Although I do agree with the original comment.
