Just dropped by to let ya'll know I am doing my part to conserve energy.

Looks nice but be careful. They are top heavy and have a lot of
windage. A buddy of mine had one in college. We were cruising down
the interstate one day after a snow storm when he got hit by a wind
gust and pushed into the snow bank on the right hand side of the road.
The bus tripped over the snow bank and we rolled over 1 1/2 times,
fortunately with only minor damage to the bus and ourselves. Just
another debit on my 9 lives account.

It really needs some flower decals and a peace symbol on the sides.

I have tried to find a picture of the VW I had as a kid. It was an 81 I
think. Lime green with a big key that sat on a box attached to the rear
end, from the factory. One time we pulled into a bluegrass fest and
about a dozen drunks chased us around the parking lot trying to wind up
the car...
