Ok, I have one for you that I KNOW no one else here has ever done. I mentioned this in another thread recently.
I'm pretty sure I am the only person here that has converted a gasoline car to a pure electric car. Took an '86 Nissan Pulsar that wouldn't pass a smog test, ripped the engine and all associated parts out of it. Dropped in an electric motor, controller and 15 6 volt batteries. Top speed was 70 mph but it really liked to cruise ay 45 mph. Range was 30 miles per charge (small battery pack and lead acid batteries).
I put 3,000 miles on it as a pure electric driving it to work every day for 2 years before I sold it.
What's my prize, Hoovie?
impressive

This thread has me thinking of things I've done in my life......
....like getting a tour of Lambeau field before a game and even being allowed to enter the tunnel the players come out of.
The exact spot Bart Star made his 1-yard rush during the ice bowl.
We don't care about no Bart Starr touchdown. Between that and "the catch" all you guys can do is live in the past!

Seriously, I bet no one else has been trapped in a civil war and pinned under gunfire for weeks, seen people who had been killed, had to survive on water froma water bed and pretty fairly rotted chicken, and had to be rescued by marines.
On a related note Sherri, I think I can trump you on the 5 trips to Africa. LOL

I was given an impromptu mini-concert by a quartet in an airport.
This is fun--things that other people say remind me of fun things that have happened to me over the years!
