After
spending all day Sunday traveling from Oregon to California, we were ready
to get the Evolution back on its feet and ready to roll. We teamed up in Sacramento
with a couple other hybrid drivers who added their Honda Insight and Toyota
Prius to the gas-saving circus that is the Hybrid Evolution Tour. Even though
the sun was beating down, we had a great crowd who stopped to sign postcards
and check out the hybrids on their lunch break.
Even though the Governator was somewhere in the building, we couldn’t track
him down. We were hoping that he would wow the crowds by benchpressing one
of the hybrids, but no such luck.
After the event, we had to book it back to San Francisco to meet up with a
reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. You can check
out the story he wrote about our conversation. We closed out our day with
some great Mexican food in Berkeley and a quick stop at a pub called the Starry
Plough.
