The EV1 Lives! (Well, at Least One of Them)

Detroit's engineering mules are often spared from the crusher, reborn to teach engineering students in leading universities across the country. During my (short) stint with Mechanical Engineering, pre-production iterations of GM's famous small block V8s were at my disposal. Whatever. That wasn't shit compared to what's tucked away in a lonely basement of the famous Kettering University in Flint, MI: a GM EV1. It was there as of last May, and it was blockaded by a bunch of crap, so it's not leaving any time soon. It looks like the Posner-approved machine's supposed death has been somewhat exaggerated. And good ideas never die. They just gather dust.

There was a warehouse in Pontiac MI that had a few of the EV-1 cars. They may still be there.
After reading this, and what others have said. I guess the EV1 never really died, but just moved on and onto new ways to exist.
