47-55.1 Electric 3100

[G&R's57GMC]

One of the best reasons to have an electric vintage vehicle is all the time it sits in the garage , there is no gas going bad or oil to change coolant eating away the internal parts of the system or other parts degrading from long term storage .

Now before you jump on me just think how many of you store your vehicles for the winter and then only use them locally the rest of the year or trailer them to a distant car show .

Ya I know we here build our stuff and some of us run the tires off of them some of us don’t .
So electric vintage isn’t for everyone yet but give it time .
Your location and use at this time would be a deciding factor . Welcome to the 21st century .

Just 100 years ago these new fangled contraptions were hitting the market and roads were a pain to use unless you were in a city and finding gas to run these contraptions was a hunt .
Besides the horse and buggy crowd saying get a horse those things are just a fad and will never catch on besides they’re just toys for the rich .

Given how readily lipo and other hi tech batteries can fail in storage, I'd rather put my internal combustion vehicles in storage than the truck in post 1

for that matter the cost of the truck in post 1 would keep me in vehicles indefinitely if invested in some low risk fashion.

This. You guys would have been staunch supporting members of the horses not cars club. As g&r says, welcome to this 21st century that is 22% over
