Hi again,

My social director(my wife) inform me that I have a wedding in Ohio on the

[FLEAA] FW: Odyssey Day/SCC Car Show Oct 4th

2008-09-04 Thread Andrew
Hi Everyone,

Last year was the first year for this car show, and it was big then.
I was there with my eBox and Charles was there with his Vectrix.
There was definitely something there for every kind of automotive
enthusiast.

Jason plans to expand the classes offered at his college to include hybrids
and electric vehicles.
He would like input from our members about electric vehicles and also about
a conversion he is planning.

Jason writes:

"We also have our 1999 Cavalier Z24 donor car stripped of its engine and
transmission. I need some feedback on what motor/controller to use with this
vehicle. Any info would be appreciated!"

Seminole Community College is hosting their annual car show on October 4th,
2008. I have attached the preliminary flyer (please excuse the typos!) 
We are in the process of including Odyssey Day with our car show. I have
spoken with Bill Young and he encourages participants going to his show on
Friday to charge their vehicles and drive to Sanford on Saturday. We will
have charging options for everyone. If interested, please let me know of
your charging needs. I will have more odyssey day info as it comes available
as well as the focus. 
We also have our 1999 Cavalier Z24 donor car stripped of its engine and
transmission. I need some feedback on what motor/controller to use with this
vehicle. Any info would be appreciated!

If you are interested in being a vendor during the show to showcase your
business, clubs, etc. I have included a form. 
I am also including a registration form, as we will have vehicle judging for
trophies. 
If you do not wished to be judged, you are still welcome to attend and have
your car seen at this event!

All proceeds go to our automotive scholarship fund to help our students.

Thanks! Jason

Another way is to insulate well with a small area
and stay cool. I can't sleep if over 80F and high humidity.
But my electric bill is only $40 last month with full time
cooling. That's only 8kwhr/day so one should be able to get
a check at the end of the yr.
I got my PSC comment on net metering in the record.
Only 6 people bothered to comment so we could really make a
difference if just 20 of us commented regularly on PSC
policies. I also commented on Nukes and AE on other PSC
rules. Will comment shortly on the new rate increases which
are up 30-50% over the next couple yrs on the west coast on
why AE hasn't been implemented as wind, solar thermal
engines, tidal power and conservation are cost effective and
becoming more so as fossil fuel, nukes go up in price.

   Assuming they are implemented then this is a very
good set of rules, especially with as pro public hookup
cost, ect wise, putting the onus on the utility. The PSC
aids are very pro AE, progressive and they write the rules,
do everything so talk to them.

Yeah, I would be able to make it that Friday, but not thursday.  I should
have my motorcycle all done by then, assuming my front tire ever comes in.

but I am also looking for an EV motorcycle/scooter supplier.  Any contact
