You can't teach that, it's all instinct!!!!! The first time I stepped on the gas, the stupid emergency brake was on, and I thought something horrible happened. Was it fun the first time you hit the gas and it actually started moving? Man I loved that! Then you stop at a stop sign, and it's like the car is totally dead?!
Yeah, stop signs always send a chill down my spine, like "uh oh, what's wrong? Nothing's working!" LOL. And on test drive number 2, it left me stranded! LOL! I walked back and my wife got the "tow Geo" to come get it. Turns out I was using one of the kids' toys to connect S2 to A1 or whatever those connections are. It was all burned up and melted! LOL! Electric cars are fun!!!! Tomorrow morning I'm going to ask the girls if they want to take the electric car to school, but before we do they have to agree that if it breaks down, they have to walk the rest of the way and not complain!
