Electric cars

About six months after Ray and I were married his 1928 Cheverolet called the "Green Hornet" and my car I had driven back and forth to the country school I taught in both got tired, Ray saw an ad for a new Electric car for $900.00. He needed a car to do his job writing for the paper. Every night we plugged it in. Where he worked the printers thought it was great fun to move his car. Four of them would pick it up and put it on the sidewalk. One night they put it in the lobby of the theater that was right by the newspaper. Driving it was easy put it was like driving in a sewing machine. My mother was sure we would hit a dog and it would turn us over so at the end of a month we advertised it and sold it for the same amount we paid for it. I bet the new electric cars are an improvement.
