I found my dream car

We have a yearly car show here. Yesterday amongst the hot rods & Bel Aires I found my dream car. The Henney Kilowatt!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henney_Kilowatt

Of course this leads into a tirade about why, if in 1960, we could make a fully electric car that would travel up to 60 miles on 1 charge, we are all still driving gas guzzleing monsters today!

The Henney I saw is one of the few still driven even! I've never had a car-gasam before until now!

The sad thing is that in doing more research I came upon some really disturbing information about moder car makers DESTROYING electric vehicles after their lease periods are up. I can't put into words how angry that makes me.
