    EVcort. Change of Pace. At least the Green Weenies had a sense of humor. Now this would be an excellent candidate for an updated battery and electronics, along with possibly a newer set of drivetrain components, such as using a hybrid transmission, with its integrated motor generators, to increase range and freeway speed.

    I’d hate to think about paying a $million bucks for that electronic Fairmont, then having to put another $4-$5 grand in it to get it up and running. That would be really silly. I mean for a million bucks I would expect new tires and an oil change.

    Orthmann, again you are the voice of reason! I meant to say a new jug or two of distilled water.

    You just know that car probably smells like burnt toast and dirty feet.

    Better than an old ex-cop car that smells like unwashed kids and dead dogs. I hurled because of that one.
