It would be cool if your school could buy the vehicle, or a Junior that was interested in picking some aspect and doing an 'upgrade' as THEIR project.

I agree, though the price was too high for the school to buy it... We offered to sell it to our physics teacher, but he only had one parking space at his apartment. Passing it down might be a good idea, though!
