With luck my mom will like the electric car and my dad will fit in it.
Maybe? My wife won't get in my car unless the alternative is walking. My daughter is coming around, though. Nine years old and she thinks I should get an Insight. Hahaha.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
