I drove the EV to work last week, and we decided to go out to lunch.
Naturally,  I took this opportunity to show off the EV (which I had recently
cleaned after the shame I felt at the Philly gathering :-),  It turned out
I had a total of seven people and their weights averaged about 190 pounds.

I noticed that the EV's ride  actually felt a lot cushier and I was not feeling
the cigarette butts that I drive over anymore....  The engine did not even
seem to notice the weight...
