    What would happen if you shifted in reverse when going down hill and let the electric motor resist gravity? (alternate between reverse and engine braking?)

    I think someone could start a business renting out old Pintos and Chevy Vegas. They are apparently not excluded. Each morning, they could pick up the peices at the bottom of the mountain and put them back together. Over time, they would become Pintas and Vegos
