Maiden Voyage

Today was big. We finished the remaining battery cables and hooked them up. With the car still on blocks, we tried the throttle and it looked good so we drove around the block! Wow, it works! Really quiet and pretty good acceleration, especially since there were 4 of us onboard. There are still a few things to finish, like a vacuum pump for the brakes, the front battery rack and another battery.

  1. Congratulations Johnny! I've been wondering what your plan was for heat/defroster to make it a year round vehicle.

    I just lucked out, as someone who pre-ordered a customized 2009 VW Jetta Sportwagon TID (diesel, 45-50mpg) over 6 months ago backed out, and the dealer just called everyone, not in order of any wait list. I got there first. It matches my preferred options almost exactly. I pick it up Friday after they install fog lights and splash guards. Jay
