(Does it run on) "Pure Energy?"

A lady in the Albertson's parking lot saw my Smart Car this afternoon and asked me, "Is it pure energy, or does it need gas?" I briefly thought of fabricating a story about it running on a pure energy cell that costs $150 and must be replaced every five years, but I enjoy people too much to mess with them and simply replied "Gas".

Of course I let her take a look inside while I extolled the virtues of this tiny car. She left very impressed, and her companion even remarked, "It really IS cool!"

Brothers and sisters, the word is being spread!

Michael

Get used to it. I spend more time talking to people about the car than I do driving

...you should have done it...
...dilithium crystals mam....replace them every decade and you're good to go..
...the tires are made out of Europrene rubber and fill with helium to keep the weight on the road down for better use of the crystal's energy....

The roof is a new transparent solar panel and can only drive it when the weather is good. and if stuck in cloudy skyes you use the wind up key to get home.

I don't know why they can't run on solar power.
