Canal St, New Orleans. It was crazy loud.

GEMs were kei truck sized EVs from the 90s. They had a weird plastic body that is pretty easy to spot once you know them, and used a bank of 12v deep cycle batteries under the bed. They were not street legal as their top speed was about 20mph.
My old boss(we rented fiberglass dune buggies at the time) now rents GEM cars to people at the local campgrounds. He delivers them to your campsite. His are street legal and do 35(the local speed limit).
So they got upgrades
I only know them because NASA Lewis (now Glenn) Research Center was just up the road, and they had a small fleet of GEMs that they used for inter-building maintenance, and we were the only shop willing to touch them.
Tonight in Manchester VT I saw somebody out driving their Lancia Delta Integrale in full Martini livery. Sounded good
both in Tokyo, note the girls advertising for their maid cafes in either side of the supra. Japan is a weird place
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
Two in one place is quite a find! There's a place near me that has one on a stand as some business sign/yard art thing, I'll have to try and get a picture next time I go past it...
