I rechristen thee....

I only had the car for less than a week when it hit me: I just had to have personalized plates! A great way to hint at the transformative power train conversion without resorting to decals ("This car is electric!") or other badges, that would just detract from those beautiful classic lines of the car.

Add about 150 volts, actually 

So... why "9-VOLT"? Well, the '9' is short for '911', and I guess the 'VOLT' part is pretty obvious, what with this [eventually] being an electric car and all. I remember as a kid, playing with toys that had 9 volt transistor batteries, and to test the level of an old battery found in a drawer I knew I was good to go if I touched the (+) and (-) terminals with my tongue and got a decent ZING. That same feeling is a very close approximation of what it's like to pull through a tight "S" turn in this car. Damned close.
