Turnin' wheels and shiftin' gears....

This morning, Mike and I hurried with anticipation of driving the Mustang. While Mike checked the transmission fluid and filled up the rear differential with gear oil, I installed the speedometer, steering wheel, and driver’s seat. With no time to waste, we were out the bay door and behind the wheel. With camcorder in hand, Matt recorded the EV’s first movements. It was an exciting rush cruising behind the wheel of a silent mustang. The only sounds heard were the squeal of the controller, the pop of the contactor, and the pavement moving below our wheels.
Creeping out the bay area...
Let's see what she's got...
Easing through the first turn.
Rounding second.
Switching drivers.
Going, Going, GONE!!!!
