Paul Havasi thought it might be fun to see how the mechanic at the dealership where he bought his ICE (internal combustion engine) car would respond to his new NmG. Since the NmG is classified as a three-wheeled motorcycle, Paul asked the shop to make a duplicate key for the door of his motorcycle. That was his sly way to get the mechanic interested in seeing the vehicle without spoiling the surprise. The puzzled service clerk and mechanic both followed Paul to the parking lot to look at this "motorcycle" that Paul had described as having a door, trunk, and windshield.

By the time the three men reached the parking lot, a crowd had gathered around Paul's NmG. Paul showed them the vehicle and explained how it worked. Everyone enjoyed seeing it and the staff of the dealership was so impressed that they provided the spare key without charge.

As an electrical engineer, the electric vehicle's technology caught Paul's attention as soon as he saw it on the news. Paul thought the unique design of the NmG was appealing and that it would be fun to drive. He also believed he had found a cool way to introduce something new to his coworkers at the high tech research facility where he works.

The first few weeks that he drove it to work, Paul could see people gathering around to inspect the vehicle that he parked in a spot visible from his office window. He really thought his co-workers were curious because they had never heard of such a thing. Then he discovered that the EV had a different cause for celebrity among his peers. Quite a few of his co-workers had heard of the NmG's predecessor - the Sparrow. Paul was the first one to buy an NmG and they were all enthusiastic to see one in person.

Paul drives the NmG as a statement to demonstrate that electric vehicle technology is available and works. Everyone who sees the EV smiles, so sometimes Paul goes cruising simply to bring cheer to the people he passes. Other drivers usually notice him and slow down. Sometimes they wave or take a picture on their cell phones. Paul has noticed that more people say "hi" to him when they see him getting out of the NmG in parking lots than when he drives his other vehicle.

When asked about the cost, Paul said that buying the NmG was well worth the money he spent. It requires very little maintenance, he enjoys driving it, and he likes avoiding gas stations. Paul also said, "I could spend four to eight times the amount of money for a high-end sports car and no one would take pictures of me or give me the reception they do when they see my NmG.
