Thanks for stopping by!

Hey everyone!

Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by last weekend to check out the car - we had quite a turnout. NBC Bay Area even stopped by and we made the local news! If you missed the test drive, check out the news segment to see a bit of the car in action! video

Cheers!
