Here's a view of the roadster in a recent Art Center grad's rendering. Bill is in Michigan again, and e-mails that "the body is being sculpted as I write.

Made by a company called GoinGreen, the G- Wiz is billed as "the car that doesn't cost the earth." It can reach up to 40 mph and runs for 40 miles on a single charge. Its batteries can achieve an 80 percent recharge in 2. 5 hours — just right for restoring power after that lunchtime dash to In- N- Out Burger.
