Wow, you SOLD the car!?!?!.

The one time I got to go for a ride in it, I was rather impressed.

It kept up with traffic fine, didn't have any trouble with hills, and is a classic to boot!

I did meet a guy from Chicago a few weeks back who built a VERY nice electric motorcycle (105 mph top speed, lithium battery pack) He spent about $10,000 to build it, and was once offered $20,000 to sell it.

I would have sold it! Use the proceeds to build another one and keep the $10,000 profit!

Just wait until Paul builds the ReVolt Dragster!!!!
