And then I can be as smug as Darell!

You can dream!

My smugness goes faster and farther than yours. And the brakes work.

Still, close enough! I think we'll show you the secret handshake once you take delivery.

Smug alert!! You remember what happened on "South Park". You guys might be responsible for the destruction of San Francisco!

I just got the word that my Xebra is at the upholsterers. This could be the last step of the modifications that Sean is making for me. It means there is some hope I could get it this Sunday or Monday.

Yeah!! I can't wait!!! I got my Gem controller swapped out today! It was down and out since Saturday. Glad to have it back! Missed driving it!

Zap announced that it received an order worth $79 million from the Electric Vehicle Company (they sell electric vehicles to municipalities, distributors, university campuses, auto and recreational dealers, foreign countries and the military), which they say is "the largest order for consumer electric vehicles in history":

I don't watch TV. My set is connected to the DVD player (for watching Teaching Company lectures while I jog) and does not get any TV input. I do know, from indirect references, that South Park is a TV show. But I've never seen it and know nothing about it, other than lots of PriusChatters cite it as if a TV show was evidence of something related to the real world. But whatever happened on an episode of SP, I think you gas burners are more likely than us EV drivers to cause the destruction of SF or any other part of the USA.

Anyway, your reference goes right past me.

Au contraire, my love: You are more deserving than any of us, because you've sacrificed more for your ideals. Darell gives up nothing to drive his Rav4EV other than the "fun" of working a gas pump. I was not willing to settle for 25 mph. You are the hero of this melodrama.

Aww Daniel that's nice but I can't agree. I went for the lowest priced electric vehicle and by doing that I'm having to sacrifice. It's ok though. I get quite a bit out of it and get to pat my wallet in the process. There's just some things I won't spend more than I have to on and one of them is on vehicles. I have to much other stuff planned that I want to use extra money on. Right now my immediate goal is to finish paying off my business mortgage. So for now I will stick to the slow lane!

Hey now. I'm gonna play my bicycle card if that's how this little contest is gonna go (see how I claim to be an EV driver when it suits me, or a bicycle rider, or even a Prius driver?) Well, now I'm a bicycle rider. I go slower than everybody (well, no... not Tracy, actually ) But I suffer! Well, no, I actually enjoy it. But I don't have to fill up with gas. I just eat instead, and I was gonna do that anyway. I don't get to pay for a gym membership because that would just be redundant. When I started riding seriously last year, my spandex shorts were all size L. Now they're saggy and I'm having to buy all size M.

Oh hell. Never mind. I lose.

Hey. well <cough> <cough>I do a bit of walking so I don't have the cost/stress of a bicyle so don't I win? And what is MY prize? Darell's Rav4? :P

Gosh Darell that Rav4 must be SOOO nice. I think if I drove it for a day I would HAVE to get one. Talk about an EV. Shoot now I wanna try one out. <_<

I crawl. On broken glass. Up hill. In the snow. Against the wind. Naked.

It is so damn cool that most days when I drive it, I forget that it is anything special. We just drive it. Every day. It is just a car. A car that doesn't require any carbon fuel, and that meets 99% of our everyday needs. Amazing in it's boringness.

Next time you're out this way I'd love to give you a ride (I can even get you a loaner bike for when the party gets going).
