You know, it's funny you say that - because that's now EXACTLY what I'm thinking? In fact...

Mark, if you send me that 'Vette, I'm pretty sure I can put it on a set of rollers from a dyno - and attach those rollers to an electric turbine I'd hook up?????? Fact, I'll bet if I had that setup, and put that 'Vette into fourth and mashed the pedal to the metal - I could light up the whole neighborhood, along with my servers and circuits??

Just a thought, mind you..??

A whole house generator would be nice. Actually, I am looking into it. I burned over 20 gallons of gas in two days with the Honda and it is toooo loud. Honda makes good products but they sure missed the boat on this one.

I suspect the vette would generate lots of power for lights but I can think of better ways to enjoy it.
