Yep, I've pulled the big old orange battery pack disconnect!

It's under the DRIVER's seat, which I thought was a really stupid place for it, considering that in the event of a crash, an emergency worker would want to pull that plug, and wouldn't be able to with the driver trapped in the front seat!

It took me a while to figure out that MOST of these cars are right-hand drive, so the left seat IS the passenger seat! In the States, the left seat is the driver's side!
