Electric "It" Spotted Down On The Ann Arbor Street; Where's The It-amino?

reminds me of that SNL skit commercial parody of the "adobe" car where if you get into an accident, in 5 minutes you just reshape the bumper back to it's original shape

The bike on the rack in front of it provides an interesting context. I'm guessing this thing is barely longer than a tandem.

The non'amino version is for sale for just $9995 from Parker Trailers in Parker Colorado.

But I kinda like seeing it, all yellow, as I drive past. I wonder how it'd run if I put bigger batteries in it. (Say 'D's instead of 'AAA's')

(I got a little lost in the 's''s'''s' above. If someone would like to correct my grammar, I'd much appreciate it.)

Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you cant, then it doesnt matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, its like walking on glass
Its so cool, its so hip, its alright
Its so groovy, its outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet

You want it all but you cant have it

Its cryin, bleedin, lying on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
Youve got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it
You want it all but you cant have it
Its in your face but you cant grab it
Its alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
Its magic, its tragic, its a loss, its a win
Its dark, its moist, its a bitter pain
Its sad it happened and its a shame

You want it all but you cant have it
Its in your face but you cant grab it

What is it?
Its it
What is it?

Well, I guess I can add yet another car to my list of things I need to take pictures of when I borrow a camera. There's an electric car in the same town as the Volvo 1800 I need to get pics of...

How's this for a story: built in British Columbia, barely sold anything, bought over by Pakistanis.

Wether it be India's Reva or Pakistan's Dynasty - it seems the third world is outdoing the first world when it comes to saving Al Gore's earth.

Crappy car is crappy.

Electric cars should be massively overpowered Datsuns, not golfkartamanios.

@will: Is that right? I remember seeing a couple of them over by that place a decade or so ago, but I had no idea that the Birkenstock store sold them. I tried to stay as far away from the Birkenstock store as I could, at all times.
