How about a fleet of defunct Fiskers? These things keep dribbling into the auction here, they are all basically new, less than a few hundred miles on any of them. I think they are all Demo models, either that or they got traded back in as soon as the company went under. They are starting to clog up the place, no one wants to leave them parked out in the gravel storage lot, but at the same time no one is buying them. They are cool and all, but really for what they cost, unless you have a Jay Leno style car collection, who is going to buy one?

I think they need to be exercised. I volunteer to walk the Karmas. For free! Just because I care.
Not one bid or just not reaching reserve?

The last one I actually saw sell brought $66k or so. But that was a while ago. These three haven't run through yet, they are just sitting there. Because winter is the best time to sell an orphan hybrid that no one will want to drive in the rain maybe?? They are pretty neat in person, the interior looks almost hand made (maybe they are?), and the cars are a lot bigger than you'd think they are when you see one in a pic.
If you find yourself back out in the neighborhood, let me know orange4boy, I know where they stash the keys for them, and there's a neato test track out in the back 40 lol.

Ya well you have to pretend you work for me to get in, and if you crash the thing I am totally saying you forced me to take you in at gunpoint! If I get banned from that joint I'd have to get a real job or something *shudder*

OK. You are on! I can totally rock the "I'm a professional here". (Probably because I am one in real life.) All you need is a clip board. It's amazing what you can get away with just by carrying a clipboard. And... I used to work at a dealership (Landsdowne GM) way back in the day.
I'm an EV consultant making sure the shunt relays are synced with the LGBT frequency regulators. Right? Sounds legit.

You worked for Ratsoi? Ha ha man that guy has a serious car collection! And I was just going to go with you were my lot guy helping me move a car, but hey if you have a good story to tell then let's go that route, it'll be more fun ha ha. My dad always used to tell me to just walk around with a clip board and look unimpressed and no one would ever ask you what you were actually doing all day. He was right!

Ok so i dont have a pic because, but. Today on the I5 in california. Around corning ca I spotted a heavily aero/eco modded car. I think it could have been a toyota. It was blue and sheet metal silver. It had a full kammback. Front and rear wheel skirts. Also maybe a chop top. Definitely a custom aero hood that went up about half way up the windshield. I wish I would have got a better look but it was about 3 seconds 75 yards away. Is this anyone here?
