Post a CommentGreat clip Doc!
I was just reading about the Mealer Car or MealerAMC. They seem to have some sort of plan going and it looks as if they will be rolling cars out of Arizona or Tennessee this year. www.mealercompanies.com or betterconstructed.com I think the sites are only working when they have updates.
Electric car ideas are neat, but the Mealer looks like some sort of turbine that runs on squished grasshoppers or soemthing. They act too secretive, but I cant wait to see the Mealer.
Doc, First off, excellent coverage on something I knew NOTHING about! I knew that electric cars weren't a new concept or implementation, I just had no idea how old the electric car actually was. Second, are you a newscaster or radio guy? You have an excellent voice, VERY similar to the guy who does a majority of Hollywood movie trailer voice-overs. -Minus (p.s. love the beard!)

How cool! I really enjoyed this. I'll have to visit this museum the next time I'm in Denver. :)
Nice job :-)
