Green Thing on Treehugger

[webwalker]

This showed up on treehugger recently.

All about converting older cars to electric. Short but interesting read.

The first comment after the article is evidently by the builder of that Thing, a man named Wayne Alexander.

A Google search produced an article from 2004 about Wayne:

He points out that he is not a tree hugger, but they appear to like him anyway.

Based on his website below, it looks like the Thing conversion cost at least $11,000:

Anybody want to see if we could get a group discount?

P.S. I am among those impressed by the Thing's 0-60 time of 5 seconds.
