This Space for Rent

If not for the insurance, this would be a very tempting offer…

A Zap sedan

It's a 4-door electric tricycle. What could be more appealing? They claim a 40 mile range and a max speed of 40mph, which would be terrific for city driving (provided there was enough room to fit full-grown adults into it) and would let us leave the Prius for interurban trips. But I'd have to get a drivers license, and it would cost us US$4-500 (CAD $.50) a year to insure it, and I'd probably have to leave some of the driveway intact so we could stable it and the Prius.

But it's very cute in its shiny new arrest-me red paint scheme. I wonder if I could use it to haul structural beams home for the garage remodel?
