First and second place in the 2015 Pikes Peak Hill Climb went to EVs.

Rhys Millen wins Pikes Peak under all-electric power

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.
