Although it's possible, I don't believe that to be Nick's home address (where he's building his car). Richard Sewell built that map. Him and I were 2 of the first baloons to be placed on it. In development of the map, we, and others were concerned that placing the exact address of each car on a public web page was probably not a great idea. Instead we used "city and state" and let the software place the baloon.... which looking at some of the people on the map that I know their physical address.... the software is doing.
For instance, you can find "Joe Sanborn" in New Bern NC, but the baloon is located at the center of New Bern 14 miles from my house/the car.
All of this aside.... I'll bet anyone here $100 that he's posting his progress in "real time". For one thing, if the car was "already done", why would he need to extend his self-imposed "9/16/2009" deadline? Get it? GT500916 = GT500 Sep. 16th. If the car was already done, there would be no reason to extend the deadline to Oct 31st..... which BTW is not going to happen either as it's only 18 days from now.
It takes almost a year of ass-busting night and weekends to put a quality car together..... I know because I've done it a few times and if it could have been done faster I would have done it. Remember that Nick isn't worried about putting a quality car together. As evidenced by his updated progress photos, he's cutting every corner imaginable.
Other points of interest..... yes, the photo of the Ecar on the grass lawn in his Blogspot (the same photo on the Dupont Registry) is my sons car in MY backyard. It was originally Pep Gray, but was changed a year later to all Black.
