Haven't driven the Firefly for over a month!

I think that counts as some sort of success story!

In that time I've been ridi ng my bike and using the ForkenSwift exclusively around town.

I haven't been totally ICE free though: borrowed my brother's minivan to drag the ForkenSwift up to Ottawa for the EV Expo a couple of weekends back.

You might be tempted to think my ICE-free stretch is a demonstration of something like will power or good planning or some other positive character trait. And you would be wrong!

I got new licence plates (had lost one) before the Green Grand Prix at the start of May, and with them I was told I also needed a new emissions test. I didn't get the test, so the new plates expired a week later. So I couldn't drive it.

E-test is tomorrow.
