Turns out, this guy is a bit of a local celebrity! He's a professor at UMSL (I was right in front of the university when I saw the car) and he uses the car to teach his students! Pretty cool!I have a thing for the old VW beetles, especially the late '60s models. I was riding yesterday, and saw a really nice, bright orange one pull out in front of me in the next lane over. I started oogling over it, and noticed a big "bumper sticker" on the engine cover. It said, "electric vehicle - it's a gas". I didn't think much of it until I stopped next to it at a light. No signature VW exhaust sounds!
I looked at the rear end again, and realized it had no tailpipes either! Evidently, someone had converted this VW Beetle into a fully electric car!
I applaud the ambition, but at the same time, I can't help but feel sad for the loss of a classic bug...1980 XS850SG - Sold
