I've been walking by a little electric car every day on my way to the casual carpool (often I see it plugged in to the side of the house), and because of all the chatting about electric cars today I finally remembered to look it up! I'm not sure how much they cost, but they sure are cute! Check them out at http://www.zenncars.com/Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05017577882203582185noreply@blogger.com
