Would You Look at That!

We moved into town after the wildfire and discovered that just running around this small community for daily this and thats was using more gas than we anticipated. Now gas is not getting cheaper anytime soon so Bob searched around for an inexpensive used electric car. (Bob does not believe in buying new if he can repair a second-hand anything, and he can repair almost anything.)

The "blue bomber" arrived, somewhat worse for wear, but, as always, a challenge for my husband. A manual did not come with it, but after about a week of his tinkering with the issues, we are driving short spurts around the neighborhood.

What fun! It is getting so much attention, and questions. I love seeing so many individuals really interested in saving on gas and the environment. Oh, I suppose saving money is another incentive.

We live in an ideal location for using this gas-less form of transportation. It can travel about 30 miles on one charge and we have numerous days of sun for recharging with solar. It is an interesting experiment and we will see how it works out, but for now, the stares, comments and questions have added another interesting dimension to our lives. I am always open to that!
