If you are close to the Milwaukee area take a peek at the Milwaukee Hybrid Group website and send an email to them asking to be put on their email list. Then you can join us at our next meeting. Currently there is a lot going on with the Midwest HybridFest in Madison. I am not sure when the next meeting is of the Milwaukee Hybrid Group but we usually get around 30 of us at a meeting. Here are two links for you to look at: Milwaukee Hybrid Group Madison Hybridfest Hope to see you at the Milwaukee Hybrid Group meeting.

Friends: 1 | 8 minutes and 32 seconds. Ummmm........I don't know. Depends on how cold it is outside, right? and what is a very cold day to you? Gee, a San Diego person......40 or 50 degrees? I would say 10 to 20 below zero is a really cold day. It might take a minute more to warm up then. Seriously, I doubt you will have a problem with the heater. |

 It's no big deal. In fact, you'll be quite impressed when you discover just how effortless startup is. As for heat, it comes a little faster than it did with my non-hybrid. | |
