Hi all,<br><br>Back in December I got interviewed by a local paper about my EV, and the article ended up on the front page!<br><br>A link to the article is here - <a href="http://www.rockdalecitizen.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=5664&SectionID=2&SubSectionID=&S=1">http://www.rockdalecitizen.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleID=5664&SectionID=2&SubSectionID=&S=1</a><br>
<br>The other story started about 10 years ago. The parts from my car were purchased from a Chris who used to live near Buda. He had used the Electroauto kit somewhere around '99 to convert his convertible Rabbit to electric. After 7 or so years of use commuting almost 40 miles a day the car body had reached it's end and I purchased the parts and am still using all the same parts except for a bigger charger. While the reporter was with me in the driveway (while I was frantically trying to replace a recently melted battery) my neighbor's boyfriend comes over and tells me he saw an electric car just like mine in Austin ages ago, except it was white. I don't know of any other Electroauto VWs in Austin so more than likely he was looking at the same parts, more than a 1000 miles away. Electric parts really do last!<br>
