You mean you didn't know you had been entered in their "rally"?

I didn't know about this feature. If it's annual, I'm betting we could provide them with lots for next year.

I knew that I entered, but got no notification from them at all.
I was doing my monthly google search for "MIMA Honda Insight", and lo and behold 23 pages of results down on the list of responses I found this page.

If anyone is interested, A story about my exploits was featured on the front page of the Worcester Telegram this week.

Sweet article! You're famous,

[MetroMPG]

Congratulations on the article. I remember seeing the solar powered fan/hat picture on your site. Funny what sticks in your mind.

Did the writer get things wrong about using the 5th wheel for regen? I know it's per mag, but I thought you were using it strictly for propulsion.

[MD2000]

Yep, after me explaining it 3 times, he still got that wrong.
Overall it was a positive article.
I see in the Popular Mechanics I just got that they are having the contest again this year. have to submit entries by mid april.
