Well, I might have found a use for the Taco's axle, once it's swapped out: I might be able to put it under Cara for the Hybrid Assist system that I was thinking about to begin with.

Then again, I might just sell Cara at some point. I hate to say it, but if the wife won't drive her, and I've got something I'd rather be driving, that has the same level of utility as Cara does, she just might have to go.

That'll be something to be seen in the future, though.

I might also have a source for electric motors, possibly, even though I'll have to scavenge parts and build a frankenstein... I used to work on forklifts for a guy... we parted on not-so-great terms, but maybe if I talk to him, let him know what I plan on doing, I can get my hands on a few junker motors and give him back the bad parts, and build myself a motor from them. Maybe.
