Good old Pop, the 1919 version of the Energizer Bunny (I think we called the batterie

In the past, taking dad to Sacramento for doctor's appointments was about all the driving he could take in a day, about 60 miles. I was surprised this morning when he asked "are we still on for Yosemite"? Since getting the V, he has been able to cover more ground, Tahoe, Reno, North Shore, Hwy 88, but Yosemite is 140 miles one way on very windy roads. Well today, not only Yosemite was no problem, he asked if we could go home via Tioga Pass at 9462' then on to 395 and Nevada, then 88 W to 89 N and on to 50 westbound. I asked if he was sure about this and told him how long that will take, he said "lets do it". We were in the car today from 10:30 AM to 10:30 PM. I guess he is good for any drive now. The V was the right car for me to drive and him to ride.

Anyone that was 4 years old when the famous 23 T was made, and still can do a road trip like that gets a giant thumbs up from me. As an old bike racer, he knows he needs to keep moving---right he is.;)

He is old enough to remember all the electric cars of his day and now he is seeing a resurgence of electric cars.
