Wow, who saw that coming? Not I, and while I'm certainly no EV groupie, I spent a couple years on the UM Solar Car engineering and race team. Amazing. (Also amazing, but in a different way: The dumbcluck comments being posted here.)

You made a good choice getting the TSX instead of an Elise, BTW.

Well, the TSX is just *far* more practical. It has a roof!

on the solar racing team in the mid 1990's. it's so cool, that you were a part of that. i'm not a EV hippie either, though i do believe in a green planet for a better future for future generations, and a better living condition for everyone.
