<VV> Motors Roadster!!! electric

[J R Read_HML]

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of traveling at whatever mph
and a wall of flame is riding along with you - possibly filling the cabin
with toxic fumes and obscuring your vision.  But, I DO appreciate that you
took the time to answer my question.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a pretty car.  I did not see a price tag, 
but assume it is beyond my budget.

Later, JR
