    I participated in CO2 Green Drive event for Earth Day. Three PiPs, 3 Teslas, 1 Bio Diesel and two Diesel hybrids showed up. I just got a chance to post the pictures so, here we go.

    Thanks to Erica for posting the opportunity to participate. Toyota/NY Earth Day Hybrid Drive Opportunity | PriusChat

    I got to drive Tesla Roadster. I didn't know it has no power steering!

    View of all the vehicles participated. There is a second Model S all the way to the right, next to the Roadster. A second Diesel hybrid truck is behind the one visible.

    After the drive, we hung out at Union Square in the event Toyota sponsored (other manufacturers included). They had all Toyota hybrids and PiP on display.

    It looks like they are used to fix the power lines with that hoist.

    Thanks for the pics USB, great to see them. It'd have been nice to go as well but I was on an extended vacation with the Mrs. celebrating our 10th anniversary.

    Glad to see there is finally some real effort in NY when it comes to EVs/going green. I recently started a site because of this (no way we'll beat CA anytime soon, but sure as hell doesn't hurt trying), too many people still think EVs are evil :/

    Wish I was closer, or I would have joined, looked like fun!
