This seems in line with the type of thing The Robot Group members would 
normally do if we had an electric car.. which (until recently) we didn't. :)

Of course, I now have the GEM NEV:

but its not quite ready for "prime time" yet. We're trying to stabilize 
the body (it was a movie prop so its sorta falling apart now), reinstall 
the seats, rebuild the instrument cluster and restore the 12v DC/DC 
converter to power the on board 12v system electronics.

Would this be something you would like us to bring out? Oh, I also have 
the utility belts, the bazooka and the helmets worn by the police 
officers in the movie. :)
