Another oddball here is a Walker Electric Truck. Museum didn't know much about it, and it just has this sign that says Electric. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walker_...
Possibly more geeked to see the GM Futureliner at the National Auto & Truck Muesem.
This is the secend of two prototype Scouts built by International Harvester's Engineering Department in Fort Wayne, Indiana, during an experimental program that began in 1977. The Scout had long been in production as a sport utility vehicle when this proposed new model was developed.
Another incredible auto at the museum was this Ruxton. Probably 1 of only a handful of survivors.
Loved the Frank Lloyd Wright Cord. So much of that era is in Black and White and it's clear Frank was a loud look at me in my screing orange Cord kinda guy.
Big day to be scheduled for later... The APSystems EZ1-LV inverter has arrived.
Huh. Our Blazer EV RS AWD performance from this week. And it's 80-90% highway, and we are not saints on speed. One Pedal with high regen on. No AC on the return leg... And speeds probably higher.
Parking lot also has an L2 7kwh destination charger and it's cheaper than it would cost us to charge at home. $0.14 per kWh.
If you don't know. Auburn Indiana was home to Auburn Automobile Company. And we were able to sneak off into the Museum campus. Where it's possible we saw the weirdest EV.
#carspotting along our travels we also saw a proper #weirdcarbs #carsky EV. And to our surprise it wasn't the strangest EV we saw yesterday (but we might save this one for tomorrow).
We also saw our second Lucid Gravity in two days. We saw a California registered one yesterday very far from home.
Saw a glitch in the matrix with a double Commercial fleet of Toyota Tacomas which were different companies. 15 years ago these would have been Ford Rangers before they abandoned them. Funny how that market share never returned.
So we found some wild stuff on our road trip today. Everytime we set it up to post nothing goes right. Going to make a thread. Combing some EV stats and true weird car stuff for all y'all. And we have to drive back through weird areas tomorrow. And we saw something so very cool. More to come.
Spotted this unicorn New Beetle Turbo Convertible top. #weirdcarbs #carsky #carspotting
Pretty sure this is the first time seeing an Escalade IQL And that L really looks conventional and big.
A Michigan registered #vanityplate PORSCH because all SUVs look like generic $50k vehicles.
Chasing some efficiency we finally got our hybrid heat pump water heater installed. At face value of tags old nat gas says annual cost $298 vs heat pump at $130. Both are wrong essentially for 2026, and our Michigan region.
Pretty cool Buick Riviera #carspotting find today. #weirdcarbs #carsky
It's been too damn long since we shared a #bustedride. Fixing that with this Mitsubishi Lancer that has seen some things.
A real one right here. There is a supercharger that is very close by, and they chose to not use it.
So the EVGO got an upgrade by $GM Technical Center. Looked functional today, but we didn't attempt because we didn't need a charge.
