Well, I went out with a bang. Lots of pictures to follow, but I need to unwind first.
5 a.m.: Learned of Heidfeld's fiery demise.
8 a.m.: Test drove a Buick Regal Turbo, Acura TSX, Buick LaCrosse 2WD, Buick LaCrosse AWD, Acura TL, Chevy Cruze, Chevy Volt, Camaro RS (V6), Camaro SS (V8), Corvette Grand Sport (436 hp).
10 a.m. While walking back to my car, I spotted, and took pictures of, an old 1970s Civic CVCC hatchback. I realized it's an electric conversion. Just then, its owner walked up and gave me a comprehensive tour of it. He then told me about an electric car owners meeting that was a few miles away.
10:20 a.m. Got lost on the way to the meeting. Came across a parking lot with a Subaru Brat, an old Toyota van, an Airstream RV, and an old International.
10:30 a.m. I showed up to the meeting. A guy with a 1970s Sidewinder power boat gave a thorough and entertaining Powerpoint presentation of how he replaced the boat's two stroke carbureted engine with an electric motor capable of pulling a water skier/wakeboarder.
