"I owned one of the first windsurfers in town, and one of thefirst mountain bikes. When something new comes out, I like to figure it out," Wagar said. "It's also an ecological move."
Wagar said he'll use his new electric car only in the Aspen city limits and plans to shuttle clients from his offices to new downtown projects, adding he can park his tiny car for free anywhere much easier than finding a slip for his sport-utility vehicle, a GMC Yukon.
"The speed limit is 25 so I don't go anywhere where the speed limit is higher than 35," Wagar said, adding he doesn't plan to go farther than the roundabout west of Aspen on Highway 82.

Another piece of Smuggler open space?
By Carolyn Sackariason
Aspen, Colorado
July 23, 2007
ASPEN - One less multimillion-dollar home will be built on Smuggler Mountain if city and county officials decide to spend $500,000 to buy the land.
The City Council is being asked to pitch in $250,000 toward the acquisition of eight acres of land left by the late Smuggler dweller Wilk Wilkinson. The purchase will leave only one remaining private parcel that could be developed in the popular recreational area.
"We're doing the best we can do to preserve the land up there," said Jeff Woods, the city's parks and recreation department manager.
Since acquiring the majority of the Wilkinson estate in 2005 - 170 acres - the city and county have been focusing on acquiring the remaining undeveloped parcels on Smuggler. The opportunity to buy the Robert Emmit, Rainstorm and Snowstorm mining claims has recently presented itself. The city open space and trails board initially offered $300,000 for the properties. That offer was countered by real estate agent Debra Goldstein, who represents the estate.
