The Eggplant has found a home.  Dave A.'s truck, Mike A., Dave B., and Art A. came along for the entertainment.  I ALMOST missed out on the trailer...the monkey on the lot told me I didn't need a reservation, but I got the last one with only two minutes to spare!  $70 with the insurance (ALWAYS get the insurance!  I ripped the bumper off a Mercedes-Benz with a 24-foot UHaul truck once...SO glad I bought the insurance!)  Got the car home from Santee, no problems.  I spent a while giving it a once over.  I drained the fuel from the tank and ripped out all the fuel-supply stuff.  I found a rotten place in the floorboards, but I can patch it.  The kids had a blast crawling around inside.  Nico helped me with the fuel tank connections.  (My eight-year-old motorhead!).

SCORE!

When I was digging around in the front hood and taking the spare out, I found a bonus!  Gen-yoo-wine Save-On brand Vodka in a plastic bottle!  The Universe seems to be unfolding nicely.

I'll spend some time patching up the rusty spots, while I try to save the cash for the motor kit.  I found space for 5 of the batteries in the engine upper-deck, and room for two under the rear passenger seat.  If I DO go with the 120-volt kit, I have room for more batteries up front.  I will most likely go with the 72-volt kit for the prototype.

I need corporate sponsorship!  Any ideas?
