It's great helping to solve problems, and sharing stories about first gen civics, but I hate to think that I am the only crusader headed down THE PATH OF DOOM!

So this is my attempt to get some of you interested in a different world. The world of Electric Vehicles.

As some of you know, one of my goals is to convert my 79 civic to an electric car. I think its the right mix of challenge and exotic fun to drive me to do it.

Here's a page that inspires me. Its not a 1st Gen Civic, but it's worth taking a look at.

The government will pay you to drive an electric car through tax credits.

Have Fun!

Darrel,

As soon as the SCCA starts an electric class I'm in. That was some web page. Does he have a regular job.

I hope he has a job with electronics. He'd make some employer very happy. How's everything going Roger? I've been putting my time and effort towards my concession trailer. I have to take a food handling class before I can be approved.

I'd have to admit that the electric cars don't perform that well yet. Although, that electric dragster in Hagerstown had some kick! It was Silent, but deadly. So I guess it depends on your system.

Here's some links.
