You should try one that has significantly more power. I drove one that had 380hp at the wheels.

Plenty of fun to be had in a Neon on snowy roads. I used to take mine TSD rallying in Canada. In February. See pics.

Very nice. I don't think I would have cared, either. My first car was a crappy '85 Toyota Corolla SR5.

THAT was your first car?

Reminds me of this.

I see what you're getting at, but it doesn't take into account the fact that battery technology has a long way to go to match the range of even the 18-20% (according to wikipedia) average efficiency of a gasoline internal combustion engine.

I was on the Disney Wonder 11 years ago, on a 3 night cruise in the Caribbean. At the time, I think it was the 5th or 6th largest cruise ship in the world. It was fantastic.

Excellent synopsis, thank you!

You make some good points. I just think it's a pretty small number, on the order that you'd get when your local news station does a poll on some local hot button item.

911. They'll know how to find me.

Yeah, that seems suspect, but likely due to the minuscule sample size.

Is 2000 people even statistically relevant? I would think it's too low. I mean, according to the Federal Highway Administration, in 2000 (12 years ago), there were 190,625,023 licensed drivers in the USA ([www.fhwa.dot.gov])

And someone make 31ModelA Tesla's head marketing guy! 'Cause he's exactly right.

I once read, somewhere (wish I could find it) that the windshield, in a normal road car, provides a huge amount of crush protection in the event of a rollover.

You did that wrong. It's "If I wanted your opinion, I'd remove the duct tape."

Agreed. Even my wife was on the edge of her seat when they staged the race at Brooklands with the scalextric models.

Trust me, it hurts when you do.

When my wife and I decided we could use a pickup truck, we did the only sensible thing.

I'll stick to my racecar that has a roof on it thank you very much.

Agreed 1000% Never take the helmet off, don't get out, and keep still. As a track worker, I'd tell the driver to sit tight and don't move, while I got into a position to hold his head steady until someone with some medical training was on scene to take over.
