Ok this is cheating. But apparently I put in in storage in November. Of 2011?? Put a newer 12V battery in it today, hit the key, and - nothing. Hmmm. Waited a minute, tried again, then the 12 volt starter kicked in and it fired right up. Man Honda overbuilt these things! Took it to the shop, scrubbed the moss off of it, then drove it 20 miles to the movie studio that rented it off me to use in background shots of a movie they are shooting. I forgot how fun these things are, when I get it back in a few weeks I think it's getting insured again.

I also saw the same MiEV I keep seeing, and again he was going the other way on the road. I'll get him...one day lol.
