Here's a lot of info about these things, including importation info, all in one place http://www.volvosugga.org/

I'd buy one with no guts based on the looks alone. I think it's one of the best of the origami school of design. Put a nice sidewinder ICE engine and manual box in the nose, have a real car. Or even cooler, a sidewinder V8 instead of a back seat.

A shipment of parts I've been waiting for, that's been missent in-state THREE times, finally arrived today. Hallefreakinlujah. And a local junkyard found me the interior parts from a '16 Caddy ELR that I needed to finish up the interior redesign in the '66 Chevelle project, and they also arrived today. Double hallefreakinlujah Even more miraculously, the Caddy dealer had in stock the one big '16 ELR interior part I needed to be new, in the right color. Triple hallefreakinlujah.

Lotsa people build things with little regard to form or function. Much more attractive when it was born looking like this:

Indeed. Cool little hemi engine though...

What truck?

Looking good so far.

Hellifiknow. Woman at the PO looked it up, repeated back to me exactly what I told her, said "give it a couple days, if it doesn't show up YOU (me) need to go online and file a parcel intercept". Cool. Now I get to do the postal orifice's work too. America is becoming a 3rd world country...and the local PO looks it: most forms aren't in their slots, never replenished, floor couldn't have been mopped for weeks, posters hanging wonky off the walls, and electrical wiring that used to go to lights in the display cases just hanging loose.

If you're referring to me, I simply quoted the number in the linked article: "Lightyear's Zero is far from accessible for most people - just 946 will be made with prices starting at $263,000."

Yes, be wary of brake fluid. I've had it turn some old parts so brittle they'd crumble if you tried to work on them. Here's another suggestion (that I have NOT tried myself):

USPS again. Package made it to the local distribution center, then got misdirected to the wrong town 30 miles away, went back the the distribution center, got sent wrong to ANOTHER town 40 miles away, came back AGAIN to the distribution center, got sent BACK to the same WRONG town AGAIN. I'm impressed. Going to the PO this AM to see if there's any way to intercept it.

While neatly side-stepping reliance on the electric-power grid, it's still a little pricey. But like all new tech, costs will come down significantly over time. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/video-lightyear-0-solar-electric-car-first-look/ar-AAYT1ts

Oopsie doopsie. Lotsa journalism could benefit from editorial review by people who were truly "expert" in the respective field.

Exactly. Full of electric unicorns.

You, sir, are a master of understatement.

Look around. I'd say a lot of women have more testosterone than a lot of today's young men.

Pretty much sums up the majority of humanity's problems right now.

It'll go in a 1:1 model just fine. Didn't we have a discussion about "how big is too big etc. etc." recently?

I just bought a real 289 bored .060" over, complete except for cam and lifters, for $800. I think I got a better deal.

Bad little Bug. Nicely done.

Hungarian sauerkraut and pork. Paprika and sour-creamy goodness, with warm buttered black bread and a Guinness Stout. Heaven. https://www.food.com/recipe/hungarian-sauerkraut-pork-67840

Nicely executed drawing, cool concept. Sure wish I didn't already have more 1-1s than I'll probably have time for, 'cause I fer sure would jump on that '62.

You're welcome sir. Good luck with your project.
