I forgot this thread.  I saw a GEM pickup on a trailer in rural Ohio.

GEMs were kei truck sized EVs from the 90s.  They had a weird plastic body that is pretty easy to spot once you know them, and used a bank of 12v deep cycle batteries under the bed.  They were not street legal as their top speed was about 20mph.

My old boss(we rented fiberglass dune buggies at the time) now rents GEM cars to people at the local campgrounds. He delivers them to your campsite. His are street legal and do 35(the local speed limit).

So they got upgrades smiley

I only know them because NASA Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center was just up the road, and they had a small fleet of GEMs that they used for inter-building maintenance, and we were the only shop willing to touch them.

Tonight in Manchester VT I saw somebody out driving their Lancia Delta Integrale in full Martini livery. Sounded good

When was the last time you saw a clean Baretta in otherwise rusty North Central Ohio?

Certainly a unicorn here, a Brazilian VW Caddy police car at a Newark NJ used car dealer.
