ok so maybe you can't see it, but some *^%$#(* decided it would be funny to take a key to the side of our car from the front door to the rear quarter panel.

That's really scary. I was thinking of leaving the Zhang Heng unattended for a few hours at a custom car show while I went for a bike ride. Rethinking that.

Man that sucks. People like this need to be shot or better yet have their hands cut off so they cant do it again.

Did you check with the hotel to see if they had any cameras?

Just in case you did not know a PT Cruiser had the same key job done on it.

I personally cant wait to get out of here. Not because of this but because I'm just tired. The only down side is I'm heading to Detroit for a Corvair convention. Wont make it back home until late Thursday.

Also very nice pics Evan. Cant wait to see the Hymotion pics.

I have videos of some of the speakers that I will be uploading when I get back home.

The keying reminds me of something that has been fluttering through my head for awhile now.

It's been my experience that in California (or, at least, the SF area) people don't key cars. This is a bit shocking to me because in my hometown (out in the sticks in Canada) keying was a common occurrence, and every single new car my parents bought was keyed within a week. Heck, in high school, one guy had brought in his car with a brand new paint job on it so that he could work on it during auto class, and while it was there between periods, someone keyed it.

Right now, my Prius is scratchless. I'm planning on making a roadtrip to my hometown next month, and I'm wondering if while I'm there it'll get keyed. It would be a shame, but I guess one can't live in fear of those who key.

That's a great thought, but unfortunately, while I was outside talking with G, I was scanning the building, the light poles, the awnings, and all other permanent structures for any signs of surveillance cameras. They are either very well hidden or non-existent. I'm guessing the latter.

Having a great time at Hybridfest...I think the 'fest' part is still going on, but I'm 'hangin' at the hotel with my son (he's sleeping) and resting up for the ongoing festing tomorrow. But, as an official photographer I'm been hammering away on the shutter release and uploaded day 1's photos to my flickr site for those interested.

The photo attached is Bill Kinney the MPG Challenge winner with 168mpg...just sick. I got 88.
MPG Challenge Scores. Those with a "P" are Prius, many of the rest are Insights, but a few are FEHs...the winning FEH hit 60mpg on the route...very good IMO.

I downloaded all my photos to the Hybridfest laptop and didn't keep any. They should have over 1000 pix to sort through from everyone.

Nice to finally meet some of you. Great weather and how nice to actually talk to people who understand and care about hybrid cars. My daughter called it "geek fest". I may have t-shirts made up saying "Prius Geek, and proud of it!"

Looks like I missed a great time, except for what happened to Galaxee's car. I wish they would have caught the jerk. I just had someone two weeks ago shoot my truck with 12 bb's. They cracked the windshield and shot out the drivers window, and I have to have body work and paint done too, so I know how you feel.

Force you only got 90? Only kidding, better then I could have done.
