250 miles per charge? How much gas you going to need to spend on the generator you have to tote around to charge the damn thing on a cross country trip?

It is an 80k two seater. In other words, it is even less functional than Rack Fu's 54k 2WD SUV. But you could easily make a cross country trip with it were you to mix in a long lunch at a truck stop every day.

A VERY long lunch.

Not to worry. U & L R & D is hard at work engineering a generator for Dinsdale's submit button.

A guy rolled into my old home town many years ago
and bilked a lot of the locals of $$$ with claims he had
developed an effective battery for an automobile. At least
Tucker actually made a few cars !

shit--I forgot to get SW FL and my pool into it !!

#2 daughter in Vestal lives on a hillside--
had water passing by, but no flooding in
the basement !

sucked for those poor truckers on I-88
(Warren Anderson Hwy) that didn't see the
washed out culvert.

Does mileage go down if the lights, radio and AC are all turned on?

They named a highway after the CEO of Union Carbide during the Bophal disaster?

Is that anywhere near the Albert Speer State Park?
