Newest way to take the kids to school

Well, since our federal legislature and executive branches thought the economy needed stimulating last year and because that stimulus made it possible to purchase one of these new fangled NEVs (neighborhood electric vehicles) for free after the tax credit, I went for it and claimed my part of the American dream. Mine looked like the white 6 seater in one of these photos. http://www.justdriveelectric.com/Customer_Photos.html People are quick to talk to you when you're driving one of these. It's downright weird.

It doesn't stay free long since I can't leave well enough alone. First weekend after receiving it a few weeks ago, I put on a 9" lift kit, some knobbies and a single source watering system for the batteries. A few pics of that process are here http://picasaweb.google.com/115930614538076621327/ZoneElectricLiftKitInstall20100904?authkey=Gv1sRgCJmcj-CT4p2woQE&feat=directlink

I know there are a few other mods in store for it. Who knew it was so expensive to get a gun rack for a golf cart? No interest in getting this thing to go much faster than it goes now since they aren't very stable and only have two brakes (unless you do the 4 wheel brake mod). But, getting up to speed quicker is still in the plans.
