The “Other” Shiny Toys

Anyone in the SoCal area going to the LA Auto Show?
Runs December 1-10th. Should be a fun time!
Taking the family to get some inspiration.

Salute!

Anything electric that looks cool and doesn't have a Tesla badge.

I’ll see what I can do.

Speaking of cool and electric, I work with a woman who had a 1991 Toyota MR2 converted to electric. The car retains its manual transmission, which is pretty cool. You stop at a traffic light and put the shift lever in first and you don’t need to hold the clutch in.

Here is a video created by the company that did the conversion. This is actually her car. I’ve ridden in the car, it is very cool.

Last year there was a company there that converts old VW buses to electric.
