Going Green

[Solus]

Back when I was in High School, there was the Izetta.

The front of this 2 seater swung open like a door for entry.

Five or six of us thought a neat prank would be to pick one up and set it down with it's fron bumper against a tree, which we did.

As we stepped back to admire our work, we noticed the owner standing in his driveway with a pistol in his hand. 

"Funny boys", he said. "Now put it back", which we did.

When I was in vocational school one of the teachers had some kind of mini car.
After a basketball game one night a bunch of us set it between 2 columns in the school doorway.
Took him an hour of backing and filling to get it out. 

Here's something though.
Several of us have admited to similar stunts, but none of them involved actual damage like rolling them over.

Charging:   The standard 120v trickle charger takes upwards of 12+ hours.  I bought a 240V charger separate (I do my own wiring at the house), that takes something less than 3.5 - 4 hours.     But charging is a diminishing returns activity so really after about 3hrs it's mostly charged.

Dealers have the super charging stations that can charge it in even less time.

Just FYI:  240Vac chargers run $486 locally.    I dug around on the net and found a company in CA, that has hacked the charger and it actually works on dual voltage.    I have a plug adapter and I can plug in either to 240Vac or 120Vac.      You can do a trade-in for less than $300 from them.  Send your 120Vac charger and they send you the hacked 240/120 version.   And no, the dealer doesn't care if you turn in the hacked charger.  According to the CA company, used Leaf's just go straight from the dealer, when you turn them in, to the wholesale auction lot, where they're being bought by an export company and being shipped to Scandinavia.  They don't care about the stock, US charger.

Our wrestling coach back in the 70's had a VW Beetle that got turned 90° in his parking spot about once a week during the wrestling season.  He's have to wait till the other teachers moved their cars!  He got used to it happening but eventually swapped spots with another coach for an end spot in the lot...

I plead the 5th...
