Hi everyone, as you may know, July 4th is Independence Day in the United States, usually celebrated with parades, picnics, and fireworks.
I ran my Electric Geo Metro in our local parade on Saturday, with "Freedom from Foreign Oil" and "Support Energy Independence" banners on the car.
What I learned was interesting - Most of the adults in the crowd cheered, but some children said "it's too small!" and a Girl Scout asked me if it was a Smart Car!
I got a lot of cheers doing burnouts near the end of the parade, and I even tossed a couple of "BUILD YOUR OWN ELECTRIC CAR" DVDs out to the crowd.
Next year, I will have to bring candy - most of the kids seemed to think it was a Trick-or-Treat day.
