I got the official reply from the MREA that I WILL be doing the presentation "HOW TO BUILD AN ELECTRIC CAR" at the energy fair this summer.
Also, today I used first gear in the Metro. I NEVER use first gear. It is SO slow, and second or third have plenty of power for pulling away from stops.
However, I needed to move the S10 and Mercedes 240D today, and neither has an engine in it. Well, neither does the Metro, but it at least has the forklift motor.
I used the car to push the other vehicles around my driveway to help hide the Mercedes from the picky neighbors who won't want to see it it stripped down.
