Maybe we can start to answer first one here--anyone think some form of a shared car would work for them?

I immediately thought of my friend Rich at Orion Auto. I just talked to him and he would be glad to be part of some kind of educational/support/off-hours facility for helping Selma maintain a fleet of shared cars. He is a good friend, is way in to community building, loves the whole Selma thing and has an incredible shop. You two should talk about your concept and what the vehicle needs. Maybe we could start with getting to the point of having a functional shared vehicle. Then work on a stationary gasification project (could it heat a house? boil maple syrup?, bake bread?). And then put the two together in an appropriate vehicle. Steve,
