Thanks for the "Love". Our women are beautiful too. I go into my local Maccas lately and it's as if I'm at a Miss Universe pageant. Former Miss Universe Jen Hawkins grew up in the area. Good genes.

But of course the parking lot is full of 4WDs, ugh.

^ lol though you could argue this is no "car"

I just bought some kind of dream car; it is not the design though it has been done by Bertone. But it has hidden qualities, the car is a real 'sleeper'. Galvanized zinc coated body, Hydractive II suspension and breaking, and a 190 hp V6 engine. Very good condition sans driver's seat (but already have spare part), and the Price was ridiculous
Citroen Xantia X2 Break V6 3l

edit god why is the picture THAT big? Removed it..

I've always loved the look of those. If only Toyota made them.

Just going to the store, plus more downtown businesses are offering free battery charging now for EV cars.

Quote:
Made by Vancouver-based company Electra Meccanica and legally considered a motorcycle, the single-passenger Solo has an 82-hp (61-kW) electric motor driving its rear wheel, taking it to a top speed of 82 mph (130 km/h) – it goes from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in less than eight seconds. Its 17.3-kWh lithium-ion battery charges in three hours at a 220 V charging station or about six with 110 V, giving the car a range of up to 100 miles (161 km).

It's priced at CAD$19,888, or about US$15,500.

Seems reasonable for a city car. Question is how long will the battery live before it needs replacement?
