Darn, I was hoping for KISS as in these profound lyrics:
"Gimme some lovin'. I'm hot like an oven."

I looked for a manual but for some reason I didn't see one in the Vancouver area and I got the RWD instead of the 4WD for FE reasons, although there are some winters here I wish I had 4WD. It would be sweet to hook up a traction motor to the front diff and have an instant parallel hybrid on one of those.

I actually think the Previa would be an ideal EV conversion. The S10 is one of the most popular conversion vevicles but the Previa is superior in all relevant areas.
Higher payload,
More interior space,
More passenger capacity,
Vastly better aero,
Space shuttle dashboard.
