Looks good on the gas...but why did oyu sell the MINI? That seems like a good commuter, even though the JCW kit is going to cut into gas mileage a bit.

Good on gas? It doesnt use any. Its an electric car, right now it has an 80 mile range but with better batteries that will change. They are using car batteries right now.
Something had to go to make room for a 911. I have dreamed of owning a 911 for 18 years now and I am finally getting it. Unfortunatly. 4 weeks ago when I sold my MINI and set out to buy a 911 there was no hint that gas prices would do what they are doing now.
I could not sell my RX-7, some of you P-car guys can relate. I have 40K invested in it and will NEVER get that back out. At best I could sell it for $7500 if I was patient. So the MINI was sold for 20K and the money is being used to buy a 1980SC.
I would buy, in a minute, a zero emmisions car. I am really considering putting a deposit on one of these to use for my back and forth to work duties.
