Prius National Tour!

furious_bean · 06-28-2004, 11:04 AM

The Sierra Club is driving a Prius cross-country to raise public awareness about hybrids.

The tour is coming through OC on Friday, July 23rd.

It'd be great to get the hybrid club involved! In the past we've had a car show or parade with a lot of success. We will have a information about hybrids to hand out as well as a fun event.

Email me at nauticalgrl1916@yahoo.com if the club would like to participate. We'd really like to work with you!

HYBRID EVOLUTION COMES TO ORANGE COUNTY

Come join us for a fun evening of clean cars and clean energy. This
summer, the Sierra Club's Hybrid Evolution Campaign is touring the West
Coast. To celebrate the tour's arrival in Orange County, we are having a
special reception on July 23rd in downtown Orange. At the event, you'll
have the chance to take a hybrid car on a test drive, get a sneak peek at
some of the new hybrid vehicles that will be coming on the market, and
learn what you can do to pressure the Bush administration to support clean cars and clean energy. We will also have some exciting speakers talking about the steps California is taking and what steps we still need to see from the Bush Administration, Congress, and Detroit.

When: Friday, July 23rd
Time: 6:30 pm - 8:00pm
Where: The Car Lab, 217 E. Chapman Avenue, Orange, CA

Oooh, which hybrid car will they be testing? And any idea on what they'll be showing off? Perhaps the Escape, RX400h, Highlander, or something new? :-)

It's marked in my calendar.

The test car is one you all will be familiar with, I believe. We'll have the Prius that we have been driving down the coast available for test drives. Perhaps sometime in the future we will have a Lexus. One can always hope.

I put it on my calendar. See you there.

So how is this going to work? Are we just going to look for the other Prii, even though there will probably be alot already

. I am looking foreward to this. Cathy, do you have any game plan for us there?

Alright, I'm getting tired of you West-Coasters getting all the cars, having all the get-togethers, and generally it sounds like having all the fun. :-(

Swing that Hybrid Tour through Chicago and bring a new Silver #9 with ya!
