I have a 2006 all electric Jeep, its really cool (in the winter) and HOT (in the summer). We keep it garaged. Well actually it is my grandkids' car, but I maintain it for them.

It has about 10-20 miles on it, (its hard to tell without a working speedometer).


I hope you like it!


See a picture of it below:

Mark, awesome C5. I just recently sold my BMW M3, so I can just imagine what this beast with double the horse power must be like.

Joe I congratulate you for teaching the kids proper environmental stewardship, but it sounds like you are slaking on the maintenance.
I mean, come on,... that speedometer can't be that hard to fix.

Hey Mark,
If that was a pic of your daughter, I was thinking you should let her hair grow out a bit

My one grandson has a pair of shoes that look like that Speed McQueen.

We also have a pair of these.
When they grow up, they'll either be Mustangs, or maybe Bronco's, but currently they are not fords.

The Corvette is nice and fast and handles like a dream. However I still miss my 1981 Delorean and 1992 Supercharged Mustang GT.
