> Just a thought for the future projects list: how about an Aptera knockoff?

My problem is finding the time to do the projects already on my list...seriously, I'm 61, how many projects do I have left in me?

But an Aptera knockoff doesn't appeal to me. The Aptera seems to be too high and too narrow for anything but electric propulsion (batteries are heavy and can be mounted low), I find RQ Riley's latest three wheeler considerably more my style.

I do think the Aptera is a good bet for the side-by-side alternative award in the PIAXP, which is worth two point five million dollars, so as a task specific vehicle it's a good one.
