drives his vehicle in Sidney,
crowds gather in wonder at the
newest addition to his local
business.

Sonosky, who owns Beacon
Autoparts; recently.bought an
electric car that can travel to
Victoria and. back. at a max-
imum speed of 40 miles ‘per
hour.

But it’s so’ quiet, Sonosky
sometimes thinks the electric
_ car has stalled.

; “It’s almost ugly,’’ said the

‘*Wherever I park the car, a
crowd will gather and ask a
variety. of questions such as
‘How fast does it go?’ and
‘How many miles: to. the
gallon’,’’ said Sonosky. The
electric car costs approximate-

Auspiciously, he bought the
car from a Victoria man only
known to Sonosky as Gandhi.

“Our car had only been
driven for 45 miles, which is
why. we bought it,’’ said
Sonosky.

Sonosky said he doesn’t want
to push its capacity too far.

The vehicle is on display
during business hours but is
put inside overnight, because
it gets ‘‘lonely,’’ said Sonosky.
