Paying too much for gas?

Personally, I love high gas prices, but if you're feeling the sting, maybe this used car ad that Em spotted today will appeal to you:

VANGUARD: 1974 Citicar, Electric. Needs new batteries, otherwise complete. $500 or Best.

Five hundred bucks! Sounds like a bargain. But have you ever seen a Citicar? We hadn't even heard of one before, so I asked Google for a picture.

I'm an electric car, I don't go very fast, and I don't go very far

Wow. I mean… wow. If I had $500 sitting around, let's just say I'd be very tempted. Of course, it has a blistering top speed of 38 miles and hour, and can only go about 50 miles before needing a charge. On the other hand, the chicks would be all over you in this sweet machine.

    It looks like an armored golf cart.

    Perfect for Rhode Island (where going anywhere beyond 5 miles is a major excursion!).

    With a few modifications and major updating of the electrical system….among a few other things, one could get a top speed of 50 mph with 60 mile range before having to recharge the batteries.

    What ever became of this Citicar? It would be interesting to know if it was sold, restored or if it still sits gathering dust and rust somewhere.
