I read something in the current Mother Earth News that made me laugh. This guy owns three Zap pickup trucks. Two he keeps at home, and one he keeps in town, ten miles away. He says he goes to town, plugs in the one he drove to town, runs his errands on the one he keeps in town, then transfers his purchases to the one he keeps at home, and plugs the town truck back in. I'm thinking the whole exercise is silly, provided the range on the trucks is at least 40 miles and a round trip to town won't damage the battery pack. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Modern-Homesteading/2008-06-01/Dear-Mother.aspx?page=7 In other news, a sewage authority is going all police-state on an amish community in PA because they have outhouses. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Modern-Homesteading/2008-06-01/Dear-Mother.aspx?page=6 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
