Re: (ET) Electrak Show??

["Joel Parks" <et jpjt net>]

I with you on this one Dave.  Plus I promised myself I would only use the 
trailer hitch I put on the Prius for my Sunfish and other light stuff; the 
E15 doesn't qualify as light.  Nor can my cargo bicycle (see 
http://xtracycle.com) handle it.

Anyway I live in Bedford right off Rt 3 and only a couple miles from 128.

And I'm also a member of NEEAA, I made one of the monthly meetings 6 or 8 
years ago at somebody's place in Worc. off I-190.  Was that Tony's place? 
Reading recent posts from you full-size EVers talking is putting the 
Convert-It bug back in my head.  I even took a look at EBay for Rabbits 
last 
night, just to see a snapshot of current availability.  I guess I need 
another garage before I contemplate a project like that.  Not to mention a 
spare 10 or $15K.  I prolly shoulda bought Ken's rabbit last year before I 
bought the Prius.

I, for one,  would not attend.  The issue of trailering an etrak to an
individual show for them in the light of current gasoline prices scares
me.  Even the thought of 'no trailer,  no car, airfare and hotel' is
scary.
      We save gasoline, therefore cut our personal output of global
warming gases down a good bit with these tractors (I have figured my own
fuel saving at approx $45 per grassgrowingseason - month  notwithstanding
snowplowing issues which means more saving of  money, depleting
petrofuel, and harmful petroemission output.
