I remember when the Sparrow first came out, they had a HUGE introduction party at the mall across from work. Everyone seemed to say the same thing.
I thought there were very cool as well, but I thought the original prive of $14k was a bit high, so $25k is out of the question.  The other issue is that I would have to find a recharging station near work because the range isn't enough to get me back home, and electric car charging stations are not common around here.
Anyway, congrats one-man parade on scoring a Sparrow. Maybe someone is working on new battery technologies to extend the range.
