Hi Donato, Yes, I met you and Danny briefly at the Green Apple Festival in Bicentennial Park in downtown Miami back in April (although the music was so loud that I couldn't hear any of the conversation that you and Danny were having with Cliff Rassweiler, even though I was standing right next to you guys). I have been following your project on your website and think it is great what you guys are doing! Great website, by the way! You are right that that is definitely the way to go for most people, and I wholeheartedly support your efforts!
We would be very honored to have you and Danny bring your conversion project car out to this event in Miramar next Friday evening! In fact, we have been desperately trying to get some conversions to come to the event but have not been able to, mostly because people are out of town or have other commitments. I actually think it would be really cool and very educational to have a car on display like yours that is a conversion in process, so that people can see what is involved in doing a conversion. Do you have a way to get the car to the event, maybe have it towed there? That would be great, and we look forward to having you, Danny, and your conversion project car there! It would be good if you could have your car there by 6pm, as we'll be having an electric car exhibition between 6pm and 7pm before the movie starts. By the way, I wish that RAV4-EVs were still selling for those kind of prices you mentioned ... ~$40k, but in just the last few months, with the skyrocketing price of gasoline, demand for RAV4-EVs has similarly skyrocketed to the point that the last few sales have been in the $70-90k range. ... Which makes conversions (like the one you're doing) all the more compelling and important! Thanks for your willingness to bring your conversion project to the event! Look forward to seeing you there!

We are doing a full educational blog to empower people to convert their cars into electric cars. These cars that will be shown in the expo are great cars, and we are in full support of them, but not all of us have $k40 to spare (or more for those RAV4s), so we spend $k10-$k15 converting our existing cars. We are in the process of doing our first conversion, which can be seen at www.miamiEVproject.com . We should have edited videos and pictures up this weekend. is there any way we can present our project in the event? If so, please contact me at 305-401-5312 thanks you very much :: donato "If the problem has a solution, there is no need to worry.
