    Absolutely!!! I was thinking the exact same thing. The Mongrel may make history. I believe it just might! The prototype needs to be preserved!

    My Elio Alternate Project Is Underway.

    With a unique vehicle like this... tandem seating, opposite doors, 1-rear wheel, etc.... there's bound to be a little "oddity" here and there. But hey, what works, works! It's what I call "character" and helps make a vehicle memorable!

    Hey Sonoran Sam….. I’ve heard a lot of good things about that 1.5L engine. Do you recall about how many RPMs yours ran at 70mph? What trans did you have? i love the thought that this engine is going into the Mongrel.

    Regional Fuel Prices

    One day…. Somewhere down the road…. Maybe the EV folks will match the speed of putting energy into their vehicles. I timed it this morning. It took about 6 secs to put 22 miles of travel into my truck. ( and those pumps are slow) who knows, maybe they’ll add power into street lanes and our...

    I’m not very familiar with what it takes to recharge on the road. say you’re traveling across several states and you run the batteries down to 10% or so. You find a super charging station. About how long would it take to charge to 100% and approx what would the station charge? Have you done...

    Usatoday: "former Oil Exec: $5-a-gallon Gas On The Way"

    I knew England was a small country, but didn't realize how small. You could place England inside the State of Michigan and have a couple of thousand square miles to spare. Shipping, commerce, travel, etc has to be greatly different in a country that small. Don't know how that figures into the...

    Aptera

    Yeah... If I had one of those I'd be walking the length of parking lots. I won't park my truck next to other vehicles – especially in narrow parking spaces. I refuse to make it easy for someone to put a ding into my vehicles. That Aptera's fenders looks wider than my RAM. Yep, I'd have to...

    All the above is true…. but the AVERAGE price of an EV vehicle in the US is STILL $66,000. Fluff it however you want….
