Sorry; I wore a ProEV T-shirt that has (on the back,) "Fight
Global Warming" above a photo of FL EAA member Cliff Rassweiler's EV
racer, with "Drive electric, Race Electric" and the ProEV URL below.
The front of the T-shirt says "Gasoline is so last century" in large
lettering.
The shirt should appear in photos of myself in the UCF 'Future'
campus paper and -who knows- may break our local monopoly daily
newspaper's blackout on positive EV coverage.
I love my new black WKtEC T-shirt, too!
Breathe free,
