I can see it now; Start the race at 7 in the morning, run 20 laps, stop and plug the car in, 6 hours later run another 20 laps, stop and plug the car in, 6 hours later run another 20 laps, stop and plug the car in…..
Welcome, Angie! Glad to see both you and your hubby enjoying the hobby together. Lots of good info here and I hope you both show off your builds with us.
No, I would not buy a car online only. As others have said the internet is invaluable for research but there is no way I would buy a car without my wife and i trying it out. It has to be one that suits both of us, that we both find comfortable and useful. When we bought my current car, a Honda CRV, I set out thinking we would be buying a Ford Escape but after looking and sitting in and driving all possibilities locally we ended up with the Honda as we felt the layout and other amenities suited us better. You can't get that experience online.
