Hey, let me offer a suggestion. That Toyota is just about the right size and weight to convert to a solar vehicle. Now, don't laugh. One of the teachers at my local high school is converting an old Vega to a solar automobile. The cost of solar panels has radically dropped over the past few years. It would only take 4 or 5 panels to power the auto. If you are interested, if even just for fun, I will get some more details and the projected cost. This teacher is going to organize a solar car race for high schools across the United States. Man, what a concept! Of course, night travel might be a bit tough. (LOL) Cy, the Ancient Okie....

However I think of the expense of a engine and transmission. then I think of the bills still coming in from my June 9th. yeah we had a blast but this years cost I am crossing my fingers an insurance company will pay for.seems as each year I get a bit braver and go a bit faster. I am thinking if I had that car you have sitting here year round . well with some added bucks we could not only jazz up the car but work on the suspension and maybe get some help from the folks at Toyota. dream Lee. keep dreaming. meanwhile my left foot and lower leg are still in a cast. L. -- Suppose for a moment that the automobile industry had developed at the same rate as computers and over the same period: how much cheaper and more efficient would the current models be? If you have not already heard the analogy, the answer is shattering. Today you would be able to buy a Rolls-Royce for $2.75, it would do three million miles to the gallon, and it would deliver enough power to drive the Queen Elizabeth II. And if you were interested in miniaturization, you could place half a dozen of them on a pinhead. -- Christopher Evans No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
