dang...not fridae.
saw a guy with an electrified Pontiac Feraro once..
I asked him about the trans and gearing .
He just ran it in 3rd gear only ,
that's almost 'driving it on the starter' ..just an extra big and strong
electric 'almost starter' motor.

heck ..one time i had an old 1.6 diesel block laying around..
with just the crank shaft in it and a flywheel on it ..
I could pop it into a vanagon to be able to move the rig around on the
starter ..
crankshaft bearing oiling was by dribbling some down the oil flange
holes in the block.
