It was fun watching the youtube video linked off that page and seeing
Bob again. The white pickup truck featured in that video that Bob helped
Dave Oliveria build now sits proudly in my driveway. I reconverted it to
LiFePo4 and ended up replacing everything except the motor, controller
and vacuum pump. I also helped a little bit with Mike Okrent's red S-10
which is also shown in the video.
Watching the next video that Youtube popped up"Citicar Cruise to Bob's",
it struck me that my other car--a Smart ED--is pretty much the modern
day version of the Citicar. It even has plastic body panels.
