Remember this post? Melissa offered up her old Civic in the comments.
Melissa drove the Honda up from MD this morning, and we celebrated her getting rid of her old car and me getting a new project with yummy brunch: popovers with homemade jam (from various makers, none of them me), local organic peaches with cream, and tea. I wish I had excuses to eat brunch like that more often!
So now I really have to figure out how to make an electric car. It turns out that the EEVC does not meet in July or August, so I will have to rely on the internet and the telephone for now. Of course, I am documenting this process in this blog, and the photos will all be on flickr for your enjoyment. I had some fun taking a few photos of my first day with my base vehicle (click on photo to enlarge):
