Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the sequel to GTA 3, takes us to Vice City. It's a world that was inspired by the Miami of the 1980s, and you can steal cars, rob stores and pull off drive-by shootings. Like with most of the Grand Theft Auto games, you have a gigantic sandbox world that you can explore, and you have a fully immersive world with radio stations included. This is the type of video game that pulls you in from start to finish and keeps you wanting more.
The American Dream: Living it Large
The story follows the plot line of Tommy Vercetti who is a past hitman who did contract killing for the Forelli crime family. We begin the story after Tommy is released from prison after serving 15 years of his sentence. He wants a new life under the concrete jungle of Vice City, and you can experience some of the wildest moments of criminal living. At that same time, you will meet the eccentric characters of Vice City that Rockstar Games has become known for creating. In total, you have over 60 main missions, but you can just as easily run around trying to get as many cop stars as possible. It makes for a fun competition with your friends. What's brilliant about Grand Theft Auto is how you have a franchise title that goes far above and beyond the missions alone. The entire experience is completely immersive.
No Details Left Out
What separates the Grand Theft Auto series from the others on the market is how no details are left out. You can ride a wheelie on the PCJ-600 and get paid for riding a longer wheelie. The great thing about this game is how they record your latest stunt records and play them back for you later. With Tommy Vercetti, you can steal, shoot, extort and feel involved in almost every detail of the GTA 3 missions. If you want to take it easy, Vice City also offers that aspect, and you can take on secondary missions. For example, you can become a taxi driver, a fireman, or run your own business. The sky is truly the limit here.
The Miami of the 80s
Grand Theft Auto almost flawlessly captures the Miami of the 1980s, and when you play through the missions, you might be left thinking of 'Scarface' or 80s TV series like Don Johnson of 'Miami Vice.' You have four different neighborhoods in the Vice City world, and as you pass through the various missions, the neighborhoods will be unlocked for you. You do not necessarily have to drive through the city and walking can be just as enjoyable. Keep in mind that the graphics might seem somewhat outdated because Rockstar Games first released this title in 2002, which makes it over a decade old. Nevertheless, it adds a nostalgic charm to the overall experience.
Top-notch Quality
In terms of quality, the game has not aged much. Good gaming is good gaming no matter how old it becomes. Ray Liotta from 'Goodfellas' voice acts for Tommy Vercetti, and the supporting cast boasts other popular voice actors like:
- Burt Reynolds
- Dennis Hopper
- Danny Trejo
- Peter Fonda
- James Woods
- Samuel L. Jackson
Vice City has a spectacular soundtrack that makes up the radio when you're driving. It can be divided into a variety of genres like heavy metal, rock, pop and everything else that made the 80s a colorful time to be alive. What's interesting about Grand Theft Auto: Vice City is how you have the first 3D sandbox game that was considered a legend. Rockstar has excelled so well at these games that they have become a king of the genre. You have total immersion with these games.
How Vice City Differs from Liberty City
Outside the outdated graphics, you have numerous and an interesting variety of missions. The changes made since 'Grand Theft Auto 3: Liberty City' have made this an interesting game. There are a lot of major improvements like you have a stronger and more fleshed out plot. The missions are also lengthier, and they have more than one type of gameplay. For example, not only can you enter structures, you can also buy them. At the time of release for this game, that was a revolutionary concept. Vice City raised the bar for the entire series. Compared to the PS2 version of 'Grand Theft Auto: Vice City,' the series followed a lot of similarities to the PC version, but the PC version has better graphics. The story of Vice City has a more personal taste than GTA 3, and the character is less anonymous than in GTA 3.
Teaming up with a Shifty Lawyer
The story goes that after Tommy Vercetti serves his 15-year stint in prison, his mafia bosses send him to Vice City to start a new operation. He teams up with a shifty lawyer called Fredo, and the pair start planning to score big on some drugs. After the drugs and the money disappear, Tommy is left fending for himself and trying to find out who cheated him. The game walks an impressive line between being humorous and horror filled.
Another great thing about Vice City is how each of the islands have their own personality. You have one area that starts up the film studio missions. You can also take on extra side missions that will support that main aspect of the plot. Nevertheless, keep in mind that this will not necessarily advance the game. It does, however, let you do other things if you feel frustrated from a particularly challenging mission. Sometimes taking a break and coming back to it is just what you needed.
Pros
- More Detailed and Realistic Than the Predecessors
- Excellent Story Line
- A Varied Level of Missions
- Amazing Soundtracks
Cons
- Outdated Graphics but the Game Stands the Test of Time—Still Very Entertaining
Faster speeds, longer ranges, and full enclosures make these Commute EVs a practical choice for commuters.

Aptera 2e
'We love the promise of a bright future and believe that by thinking more efficiently today, we make tomorrow that much brighter.'
Possibly the most radical design available in electric vehicles, the Aptera 2e offers all the features of full-sized cars with extraordinary styling and performance.
SafetyWhile the government currently classifies any three-wheel vehicle as a motorcycle, Aptera makes their vehicles meet passenger car safety standards.Composite body structures provide an impact-resistant exterior that is lighter than steel but three times as strong.Under the skin, the safety continues with some more familiar features, including three-point seatbelts, side impact door beams, a roll bar, a tire pressure monitoring system, front airbags, side-curtain airbags and crumple zones in both the front and rear. Additionally, a low center of gravity makes the vehicle incredibly stable and nimble, and lightweight construction means it’s about one-half as hefty as a Toyota Prius, which helps in braking.
Efficiency
In aerodynamics, the word drag defines air’s natural tendency to slow things down. It steals your vehicle's energy and decreases your fuel economy. To be more efficient, aim to reduce drag by becoming more aerodynamic - much like a bird gliding through the wind. The aerodynamically-efficient design of the Aptera reduces freeway energy use by more than 50 percent, and overall it uses an average of 10 times less fuel to move people. With a low drag coefficient of 0.15, the Aptera 2e realizes less drag than Lance Armstrong on a ten speed!
The 2e is designed to charge overnight using your ordinary garage outlet (110v) so that it's energized and ready to start the new day with you.The 100 miles of range will only cost you about $0.50.
There's just something breathtaking about seeing the 2e's gullwing doors open to reveal the comfortable cabin. It's not for show, though, as the short swing paths of the doors allow for easy entry and exit from the vehicle in tight spaces.
Specifications:- Curb weight = 1500 lbs.
- Motor power approximately 100 hp (plenty for this light weight vehicle)
- 10 - 13 Kw-hr battery pack
- Battery voltage = 336 Volts DC from Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LFP)
- Range up to 100 miles per charge
- Warranty = four years or 50,000 miles
- Solar-reflecting glass
- Opional backup camera
- Learn more at https://www.aptera.com
Available in 2009, the Aptera 2e all-electric model will give you over 100 miles per charge (300mpg). The 2e can be charged by a standard outlet (110v) in under 8 hours.A fully refundable $500 deposit that is held in an escrow account guarantees your reservation, and will be applied to the final purchase price of your new Aptera. You can ask for a full refund of your deposit at anytime, no questions asked. https://www.aptera.com/reserve.php

BugE
The design goal was to create a simple, low cost personal mobility vehicle that could function in a four-season environment on city streets.The vast majority of vehicle trips are local (20 miles or less) by one person.A small battery pack is adequate for these short trips and re-charging opportunities are available from every standard electrical outlet. Every convenience store is a power station. Energy efficiency reduces electricity cost to only 1 cent per mile. A light-weight vehicle is suitable for many short trips within the community provided if it offers some features not typically found on two wheeled bicycles and scooters:
- Cargo capacity (two bags of groceries)
- Stability (three wheels)
- Visibility in traffic (Fairing shell)
- Weather protection (wind and rain)
Check out these educational and entertaining good reasons to BugE.
How far it will go depends on many factors, but generally you could expect (with a full charge and level terrain, no stop and go) 20 miles @ 40 mph, 30 miles @ 30 mph, 40 miles @ 20 mph. The BugE has only 75 part numbers and 7 major components, and weighs only 350 lbs. Get answers to your questions at BugE FAQs, BugE Specifications, BugE Owner's Manuas, and BugE videos.
You can buy an assembled BugE from Harvey Coachworks & EV, 2130A Jefferson Pike, Knoxville, MD 21758, (Toll Free) 877-749-9730, http://www.harveyev.comThe BugE also comes as a kit that sells for approx. $4000. Learn more about kit options and pricing.

'Ultra narrow freeway-capable safety vehicles that fit anywhere a motorcycle can.'
This is a two-person commuter car. (It takes two to Tango).
Comes in 3 models and price ranges:
- T600 => 0-60 in 4 seconds. A luxury race car that outperforms the Dodge Viper. ~$85,000 (George Clooney's new electric car.)
- T200 => 0-60 in 5 seconds. ~$39,900
- T100 => 0-60 in 7 seconds. ~$18,700
From Commuter Cars' web site: You may have seen us driving the Tango prototype around Spokane or racing it at Woodburn, Oregon (sans body) and wondered 'what the heck is that thing?!' This site, which will be updated when the Tango is complete, will try to provide all the information you're looking for.
The Tango, the first vehicle produced by Commuter Cars, will be a prime example of what we believe the future of commuting will be. Our requirements of this car (safety, etc.) will be found in every vehicle we ever produce.

Here's a note from an interested party (Feb. 2006):
I was impressed tnough with the specs on the Tango that I am thinking of upgrading to the T200 and paying extra $500 refundable if I get this senior position at Sony. He said I could change my mind and get the T100 if finances are not there. The T200 will be out sooner and I am eager to get one.
The T100 is either front wheel or back wheel drive and has 100 kilowatts of power (50Kw per wheel). It goes 0 to 60 in 7 seconds (no shifting!). Retail should be $18,700. The T200 is also 50 kilowatts per wheel but has all wheel driving giving it twice the power at 200 kw. It goes 0 to 60 in 5 seconds. Retail should be $39,900.
The race car that you can buy today for $85,000 (incentive for investing in the technology for rich folks) has 2000 amp Zilla controller with peak 600 Kw (150 kw per wheel). The motors produce over 1000 ft-lbs of torque. This is just an insane amount of power. It goes to 0 to 60 in 4 seconds but could accelerate faster were in not for fact that the tires would delaminate. It actually becomes more of a tire durability issue to accelerate faster. The myth that electric cars can't climb hills is kind of mute with this car. Since on a race track they do not go up hills and there are no police officers, they have a gearing unavailable to the public that gets the car up to 200 mph. They don't show it on the website but I have a picture of the car peeling out with smoke coming from the wheels. They are trying to send a message that these cars are superior performers to standard gas cars.

Manufacturer:TWIKE AG, CH-4450 Sissach, Switzerland, http://www.twike.us/
This Swiss designed and beautifully engineered vehicle is commercially available from mike.patterson@twike.us
Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 11:21 AM
Subject: Twike $16,000
The Twike is about 4 feet high, 4 feet wide and 8 feet long, with three wheels - two drive wheels in the rear and one front wheel. Its aluminum space frame is covered with a tough, lightweight plastic shell, and the windshield is made of Plexiglas (or safety glass with heating wires). The motor, transmission and batteries are all in the rear, creating excellent traction similar to the old Volkswagon bug.
The Twike's battery system was quite unique until Toyota borrowed the basic design for its hybrid electric Prius sedan, which has a single pack with 240 nickel metal hydride (NiMh) batteries. The Twike has either two or three battery packs, each with 280 C-cell nickel cadmium (NiCad) batteries run in series. Each battery pack is controlled by a computer board that carefully monitors the charge level and temperature of each cell. Fully charged, each battery is about 405 volts (V). The D/C-to-A/C inverter powers a 5 Kilowatt (KW), 330V AC electric motor.
The Twike's motor bike tires are mounted on alloy rims. The rear brakes are hydraulic and the front brake is a cable brake. The emergency/parking brake is cabled to the rear wheels. The regenerative braking system is controlled with a button on the beechwood handle of the steering joystick. One unique Twike feature is that both the acceleration and the regenerative braking have cruise control, very handy when riding up and down the Swiss Alps! The acceleration cruise control allows the Twike to maintain a steady speed regardless of the pedaling status of the driver and passenger.
The Twike's NiCad system can propel it about 45 miles between charges and the fully discharged batteries can be recharged with 220 V at 16 amps in about an hour.
Twike will be registered under a brand new Vermont law that covers electrically powered enclosed motorcycles under 1,500 lbs.; no helmet or motorcycle license will be required.
Cushman
Cushman builds Industrial and Commercial transports. Most are boxy-looking and slow (like the Bellhop pictured above). However, the expected Cushman ZEV is a 3-Wheel, 40 m.p.h. city commuter. Standard features include speedometer, horn, turn signals, stop/tailights, heater/defogger, rear view mirrors, self-adjusting hydralic brakes and a covered steel cargo box.
Here's their corporate introduction:
In an era of so-so service and sacrificed quality, it's nice to know that there's still a company that does, in fact, 'make them like they used to.' When you stop to consider that we've been making commercial and industrial utility vehicles since the turn of the century, you'll understand why the Cushman name is synonymous with strength and reliability. From vehicles that powered the allies in World War II to our present fleet of industry-leading personnel and burden carriers, Cushman products are built to last.

CityEl
How much car do humans really need? The CityEL may be the answer.
This unique vehicle offers pollution-free and stress-free mobility for times when a full-sized car is unnecessary. For example, commuting to work and everyday shopping. With the CityEL, you can comfortably bridge the few miles up to the next transit station. Bring your child to school in the morning. Leave your full-sized car in the garage until you really need it.
Dramatic efficiency increase in the new CityEl.
The new FactFour requires only 3,5 to 5 kWhs on 100km as opposed to the 7 to 9 kWhs with the old model. A more efficient electric motor avoids abusing the batteries. The capacity of lead acid batteries is much reduced at high discharge currents. An inefficient electric motor requires more current for the same performance. When the battery delivers that higher discharge current, we get fewer watt-hours from the battery. Therefore, the new CityEl with the better drive is called FactFour - because it uses half the electric power consumption, range is doubled, and the lifespan of the batteries is doubled.

Here are useful legal and technical notes from an owner:
I bought LEMN WEJ through a private sale from someone who had already registered and insured (with State Farm) the vehicle as a motorcycle.
Craig Childers (dev at dcn.org -- Davis Electric Vehicles) has several CityEls for sale. Craig is also your resource for parts, including tires. Craig and I are finding it difficult to find a source in Europe to help us get new tires into the US. Maybe we can talk to Pete Senkowsky again regarding a potential trip to Germany to bring some back here?
Some time back, I looked into what it would take to import vehicles into the country and generally, you use a registered importer. NHTSA maintains a list. On it, JK Technologies LLC has some motorcycles pending approval, so maybe they can be a good starting point. Another NHTSA list identifies companies handling only motorcycles and scooters. Here's their FAQ page. We may find this section helpful which covers the general rules regarding
Vehicle Importation and Certification Requirements.
Araco Corporation COMS
Another new player in the PEV market is Araco Corporation with this interesting single-person electric vehicle which can be used for running personal errands, as campus transport or on resorts. The Japanese company says it has sold several hundred since it introduced the vehicle in Japan. Top speed is 50km/hr.
