Here's another funny thing I'll bet that most of the list thinks I'm nuts
but now that you've indorsed it they may go along. If some of the big dogs
give it the ok then there may be a new product AT EVPARTS . And that's the
way it is with most things. I always have this feeling that things are just
about to happen (monkeys in my stomach). It is asking allot of people to
make such a big change in the life's. But they want to just give them a
chance. The car makers got the same problem but there trying. Think about
what we are asking them for. Goe 6 pack with an EV ? We need to do more !
9/11 is coming we should all have our hoods up .
How about calling the hood ornament the "9/11" America's new secret weapon
against terrorisiom. Lee will you put one your car so I don't feel so
alone?
Nightly news "one year later America comes back with a might blow to
terrorison EV's are back!!" shot of the finest looking hood ornament in the
EV album. Mine will be just some piece of crap as I never have time to do
anything nice. It would be nice some day not to have to make everything I
want. What about EVTV?

car . 17 years of work and all people are talking about is some stupid hood
ornamants and a guy who can't spell.
