tripple axle flat, looks like @L.R.S.  

Sort of me, actually my son Balin. I sent him to pick up that SCU in Spring Valley Nevada, about 700 miles north of LA and deliver it to Indio to the new owner.

The best thing about football stadiums is when they fill them with dirt for Supercross.

MAKE ME ONE!

Consider it a 'life experience' and walk away. If it was a desirable collector's car then keep it, but it ain't. My experience- in 2016 my wife and daughter got side T boned 1000' from out house on our street one morning on the way to school in our 2002 Tahoe with 250k miles. Fully insured. The insurance offered to let us keep the Tahoe and pay the towing and storage fees, about $900. It had the original 5.3 iron block and 4l80 trans with under 50k miles. I could have fixed it for $1000k or parted it out and maybe, maaaabey scrapped it for a few grand. Not worth my time and effort. Let them have it and they paid me $4500. 

Great idea!

I had a 3 seat SSE in 2003

Guess we can throw the BLM Rescue cars in the mix as well then.

Very interested. Location?

Seriously?? A Can-am for $65k? WTF?!

Funco had a seriously sick blue car!! Beyond sexy!!

That belongs to Dillon Georgian. It's the first 3 seater they've done that I'm aware of. It is an F9 with a center seat in the back. They did another one after this but the seats come out of the rear and panels can be installed.

Go for the beers, stay for the chit show. Watching the people who don't have a clue how to drive try to get a parking spot is priceless. on the busy weekends you are bound to see at least 3 cars almost get in a wreck because everyone thinks it time to show off on the dune right in front of it.

What's wrong with showing off at The Ledge...

No more caffeine tonight for you.

So it is all about how you charge the car 2amp or 10 amp switch on the leaf button. generally I can charge it at home at 4pm and be fully charged by 5am and I drive 27 miles every day to work. I would plug it in at work (630am) and it would be fully charged by 3pm. it is also how you drive. 80- mph will drain your battery faster vs 65 to 67 mph and up hills will make a difference as it is more power required to pull. quick charge is the way to go. 

I'm learning all that stuff and more each time I drive it and charge it.  I thought I set it for the higher 12amp charge but it defaults to the 8amp every time I plug it in.  Tonight was another new one- Left my house at 9pm and it said 34 miles available.  While driving, mostly downhill, at 75-80mph the miles climbed to 38.  I hit a drive-thru and got to work and it was down to 34 miles available.  So my drive to work basically cost me nothing, and now it's charging outside my office.  

My daughter absolutely loves the car man!  She took her laptop out there and sat in it for an hour going over stuff on the internet so she can learn more about it.  She wanted to get a few things for it- phone mount, trash can, etc. and I told her to go on Amazon and get whatever she wanted for the car to make it 'hers'.  I really appreciate the deal, taking it to the dealer for an inspection and how upfront you were about the little things it needs.  We'll catch up this weekend at the show.

Not a fan of the Go Fund Me stuff and have never donated to one, except once a few months ago for a kid in my daughters school that she knows who got leukemia.  Not his fault for getting it and not his fault his parents were under insured for his treatment.  Other than that I keep scrolling when I see them posted.

Brah, I drive through Redlands twice today.

The whips won't fly out.  I transport 20 cars a month during the season on a flatbed and never had a whip fly out of the car.

Probably last 4 seasons or so when BLM really started harassing people at the drags. But Sunset, aka The Ledge, is now super crowded and BLM got a CanAm so they show up sometimes. 

Best part of The Ledge is when you get there early and are having a beer with buddies and a SxS shows up later on blasting music and parks close, basically blocking you in. The sh!tty music is free!

What?!  Wikipedia makes it sound like a great place to visit.

Boyle Heights, historically known as Paredón Blanco,is a notable and historic Chicano/Mexican-American neighborhood in Los Angeles, California, located east of the Los Angeles River. Boyle Heights is known as a bastion of Chicano culture, hosting cultural landmarks like Mariachi Plaza and events like the annual Día de los Muertos celebrations.

All of that is accurate. But they left out people sh!tting on the sidewalk, trash cans constantly flipped over by food treasure hunters, garbage everywhere...

I just got a call from Foremost and they now want an appraisal in order to underwrite the car. That's $200. Here we go....

$200 for an appraisal? I do a few per year for sandrails, need to raise my fee.

I assume the batteries are original?  I think I might have mentioned looking into that... 

 

-TJ

Yes you did and I'm sure the battery is original. I can't 'TJ' this car and rip it apart and replace errythang though. It is what it is. I've never owned an EV, never had one on my radar and did zero research on them until Tony offered it up. 

The charger cord that came with it will do 120v/240v via a NEMA6-20 plug (it has a NEMA5-15 adapter for 120v now) so just need to get that socket wired up at the house. A few articles claimed 4 hour charging on 240v power. 

I'll check out the free charging station in the off-site parking structure at work, which is a 10 minute walk from my office each way. Not bad, but it's Boyle Heights in East LA and not a place for a guy like me to be on the streets at 9:30 pm and again at 5:30 am. The things I'll do to live green and save the planet...
