    Box Fan,
    you don't have to stop at the red light
    you look like the moon rover
    no you can't ride in my buggy tonight

    Box Fan,
    you said square wheels ain't right,
    but I went to the home depot,
    and for these fans the price was right,

    Box fan!

    The square tires will help it ride smoother on the potholed streets.

    My biggest concern about "hot swap" technology: Every time you change the batteries, you'll need to reprogram the presets on your radio.

    @Feds: I know. I could've come back with Mr. Fusion as the standby, but that would've been unreasonable.

    Nobody needs that much power to hold the preset memory.

    So, no need for a parking brake, then?

    Actually I think the square bits are floating fenders. Kinda neat, really.

    I think it was the French who first came up with the concept of "biberonnage," or "bottle feeding," using an electric car in an operating paradigm that made allowance for many short stops to top up the batteries. Don't ask me which company it was that was working on that.

    But anyway, a bunch of little top-up charges can make your electric car cover an awful lot of ground. Stopping for a coffee? Plug in the car: thirty minutes of charging time. Picking up the groceries? Plug in for another half hour. Schtupping your boss' wife? Plug the car in too while you're at it, for maximum voltage for a quick getaway. It is a French idea after all.

    @Elhigh: For me - "Schtupping your boss' wife? Plug the car in," do your business, and then wait 18 minutes for the "quick charge" to complete.

    @tempesjo: Whoa, slow down there cowboy! What's the big rush? Take your time.

    Anything - or anyone - worth doing, is worth doing well.

    @Elhigh: Trust me, it's not by choice. Unfortunately, I have a very limited knowledge of baseball to keep me preoccupied.
