Thinking about taking GM up on their SUV deal

[Nebe]

Heres what you do.. go buy a nice older VW vanagon or if you want to be nostalgic, buy a older bay window bus.. better yet, go on ebay and buy a crew cab bus from the west coast- yank the engine and then buy a DC motor kit that bolts on to the transmission. For about 3 grand you can convert and old VW to electric and be done with oil. The old crew and single cabs had whats called a treasure chest underneath the back bed that can hold 500 to 1000 lbs of battery weight. Im considering this with my westfalia.
