OC, CA

I can't say that we didn't have doubts rolling into Orange County. Any county that gave rise to Nixon and Reagan definitely carries some baggage with it. But as soon as the doors opened up, all of our doubts were gone. Over 150 people showed up for our Friday night event to check out our corral of hybrid cars and sign postcards to the Bush administration. We held the event at The CARLAB in downtown Orange. They rolled out the red carpet for us and really treated us right. After the event, we walked over to the local and had a few drinks with the CARLAB crew. After being on the road for close to two weeks it was great to have a night to relax and meet some new folks. We also saw the coolest Prius ever in Orange County. Check out the pics. Tinted windows, chrome rims. Where do I sign up?
