Discovered through a mysterious source. Truth? Fiction? Who can say?

EAGLE ROCK, CALIFORNIA

Electric car owner Michael "Otto" Penzato chose a rather ironic paint scheme for his electric 1992 BMW 525. Taking a page from the last presidential election, the hood features an oil well gushing in the arctic wilderness and a baby seal lying dead at the base of it. The car was converted to electric by Greg "Gadget" Abbot, host of many popular Discovery Channel Series, including, "Big."

The car is a full electric conversion. Challenges have included finding a way to drive the power steering pump without the belt drive system that came standard with the gasoline engine. But authorities are convinced that Penzato (pictured left) will be able to surmount this and other challenges. Once it is completely roadworthy he says he may change the slogan on the hood from "Drill, Baby, Drill!" to "Drive, Baby, Drive!"

Locals salute Penzato for his efforts to reduce his carbon footprint while still maintaining a good sense of humor!
