Cute, but it can stay in NJ. I've worked on French cars and to put it politely, they are strange. Probably don't have enough power to get out of their own way. You have a business there is no better way to get your name out there than with one of these trucks parked outside I think the key word here...

I have 2 more batteries for extras. Refrig, computer, etc. The big problem is those 2 get run down quite far every ni...
