The key is to be cool and studly enough to overcome its anti-pussiness.

Have you looked into electric conversions? That subject has always fascinated me. I think a converted Samurai would be neat to tool around town in. Got any favorite sites?

There's an electric 70's Bug I see passing through town semi-regularly that I'd like to talk to the guy about but I can't ever seem to catch up with him.

I can't find it online anywhere, but back in the early 80's JC Whitney sold a body kit to convert a VW bug into a stubby looking Ferrari.

That would be a cool car to make an electric.

I know you wouldn't buy that electric POS. Why would anyone want something like that, I guess because its unique.

Some of us are just strange/warped enough to like strange/warped stuff like that.

That's right.
Don't pay any heed to these naysayers,if you like something and it's within your budget,go for it.

The damn things are good for 40 mph and about 40 miles on a charge,on level roads,of course.

$h!t, my vanity went out the door years ago. One good look at me will confirm that.
