Yep, free electric car I was yapping about at the end of last year, it finally arrived. Ok, not totally free. I had to pay taxes, title and insurance (800 bucks total) but now I have it.
I wonder if the wife will object to me painting it camo? It will be seeing duty as a range cart and a dead deer hauler this fall. 
Yes, that is a license plate onit and it is street legal.

Pretty cool ride... I've been wanting one of those to drive around down at the cabin and around the lake... Would be perfect for haulin the kids and appropriate swim gear down to the lake and haulin water from the fill house to the cabin... Might even be able link up a small trailer for water barrels and firewood as long as you don't over do it... Although it might not have the ass/amperage to pull that much... |

Yep! You passed the Man test. Duct tape holding the license on and spare roll on the floor for emergency repairs. Didn't notice that is how the Lic is attached. But Gary did mention something about the wife and objecting. Figured it was to silence the objection. |
Allright, figured out how to mount the gun gimbal now to decide whether a bolt action 50 BMG or Suomi with a cache of 72rd drums would be the way to go. 
Nismofun, this was done through a tax credit program that ended on 31 dec 09. The IRS is supposed to have something like this again this year but I haven't looked into it yet. My best guess would to look into "plug in electric vehicle tax credit" and see if there is any news for 2010 out there. Now, do I leave the street tires on or do I swap out some of those old ATV tires I have strewn about? (both 12' rims) |
Cant quite put my finger on it, but that photo of a electric golf cart that has been tricked out. Well I just cant see myself and any other sane person driving one of those out of the back end of a cargo plane heaven knows how many thousands of feet above terra firma. I just dont think God meant for these things to fall back to earth from those heights. I really hope that, that roll bar is really really strong.
P.S. Gary I noticed how you side stepped the bit about the duct tape.
