Naysayers never end with the reasons why they shouldn't drive an electric car. I'd rather just DRIVE one than make excuses.
If your buddy Mike Stritzki did this with $500 and off the shelf parts, I'm all ears. If not, keep your vaporware and unobtanium to yourself.... ....You know, I will be honest here. It doesn't take a genius to build an electric car that goes far and/or fast. It just takes a lot of money.
And MetroMPG, it was just an ordinary drive home. Nothing fancy. Maybe I need to get some more batteries stolen to get karma shifted back in my favor.....

Ok, well I am happy that you are happy with what you built and its performance. We build these things for the utility they give us.
There are some people who would still rather ride a horse. I mean hey, just give it some hay and its ready to hit the road and to each his own.
But as far as our nation is concerned, I could find some extra pride if someone were developing some new and better technology that put America in first place again. We come in last time and time again and people are happy with that.
Stock lots of duct tape and old washing machine parts. We will need that to lead the world of tomorrow or maybe China can lead the world for us.
