My car doesn't have the new car smell. But it does have the "fresh plastic" smell.

Here are all my GMs in order of when I acquired them. 1979 Pontiac Bonneville (First car) 1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula 2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS.6 2002 Corvette Z06 2003 Corvette Z06 2014 Corvette Z51 2014 Spark EV You're probably thinking what a strange jump to go from a bunch of performance...

My commute is 42 miles a day. So... I beat the piss out of the accelerator. I'll report back after a week or so what my indicator says. But I've already seen it around low 60s.

LOL! I jumped from page 1 to page 4... Quite the extreme, from friendly to hostile in no time. I'd be down for a GTG on a weekend. I'm all over the valley, so any location is fine with me.

I sent mine out yesterday. (Online application and priority mail for the rest.) I'm guessing that it will be sometime in June, then, if everyone's been getting theirs in 60 days. I may not even get mine if the rumors are true that they aren't pumping anymore money into this project.

Gotcha. Just signed up. :) Yeah, I like to punch it often. Generally, I don't care about how many miles I can get out of it. I specifically bought it because I like the idea of never going to a gas station.

I've been wanting to pick up a Spark EV for a while, but never got around to it. Well, I finally pulled the trigger on one. Silver 2LT. It's going to be my skip-a-daily. Basically I'll be driving it every other day to work, and driving my Corvette the other days. I also just ordered a sticker...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. Looks like 220v is the way to go. I've requested to my landlord to put in the 220v. I was told a new meter would have to be installed, so they're looking into it further. They're not against it at all at this point. I was told they're aware that EVs are soon to...

OH! That's interesting... The OnStar thing would give me some peace of mind. The option to charge at work isn't really there yet. Most of the office buildings in my area are putting in chargers, but my building hasn't mentioned it yet. We have a number of people in that office building with...

Hey everyone. I just signed up on this forum because I'd like to pick up an EV sometime soon. At this point, I've looked at the Leaf, the Ford EVs and honestly, the Spark seems to be the best bang for buck as well as the fastest (which matters to me). I just sold my daily driver (a Toyota...
