All Gem Recalls

And now, for something completely different, . . .

Well, not completely different -- it IS another car. But it's much newer than the ones in the two preceding photos, also much smaller, and electric-powered. This GEM e4 electric car, with seating for four (but no apparent room for anything more), is a National Park Service vehicle seen at the Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego. (GEM stands for Global Electric Motorcars.) Lest you think NPS has gone really green, I note that the NPS vehicle just beyond this was a large SUV (I didn't note whether it was a Chevrolet Suburban or GMC Yukon). [Regarding the title, I guess I'm recalling when Monty Python was part of Saturday night TV.]
