@Bubs: Those are pretty cool. I've always thought it would be fun to find a project microcar and stick to the side roads. I notice your New Hampshire plates, was your car the one from NH listed on ebay a year or two ago(?). Read more

@dezcori: Just saw this, I set this article Saturday afternoon and didn't have a chance to check the tips after that. Sorry! Read more
