I have to admit to watching out the front window of the house when I let my girlfriend take the vert to work or on an errand, so I can see it in motion as she drives off down the street. It gives ya a perverse little thrill!

Ha ha! The EGO has landed!

I never get tired of looking at mine.

My wife drove past me today going the other direction, I didn't see her.

She called me on the cell phone to tell me how good the car looks coming at you. That was the first time she saw the car from that direction.
