Actually, people do know - just not me (got mine ordered at the rally!) Anyway, PM Jeff, sharkdog or forestacademy and they can probably put you in touch. I don't believe the idea ever was to sell them worldwide but I could be mistaken.

Oh, yeah - and where's our Indy video?

Hi Guys -been off grid for a few days!

The DVD - I have the business card of the videographer - as soon as I find it I'll post (if someone doesn't beat me too it).

Thanks for the lovely pink smart bug scrubby - haven't used it yet, but zippy could use it!

I second and third all the positive comments from everybody here. It was fantastic!

Best comment I heard was from a group of teens watching us pass by - "hey are you guys in a gang or something?"

Nonuro,
The ones my wife Mary was making on the way up to the rally, at the motel, or made while Jeff, John, Jet, Barry, and others waited for one. She made them out of 8.5yd. long by 2.5in. wide netting and crocheted into a 3in. circle. You can use them like a Scotch Brite pad. They work well on pot and pans, or cleaning the wheels and bugs off the smart. Also the pink one for Suze.

Thank you to everyone that worked hard getting this all together. It was great fun. All of the owners I met were such friendly people. It was truly suprising!

An unsolicited testimonial - washed the car yesterday and the scrubie (just ignore what jetfuel calls them ) worked great. Got the dried on bug remains off the car and zero scratching. Thanks, Mary!

quick question. I noticed some smarts with the smoked headlight covers... do anyone one with these drive around at night with them on? do they dramatically effect the brightness to an unsafe amount? GF, Jessica, is worried about it. Not gonna defend them until I get some backup.

I think they look cool but anything that goes over the headlights at all are illeagal in wisconsin even in the daytime according to the state trooper that made me take them off and gave me a written warning for having them on my truck.

Have been tied up with lawn mowing and a flag retreat ceremony at Lincoln't Tomb, so a bit late in getting back online.

A big Thanks to Jeff for making this event possible! :-) We had a great time meeting everyone and seeing the modifications to cars and the license plates.

A sight I'll never forget were the expressions on the motorcyclists' faces when we were waiting to board the ferry. As one bank puts it, "Priceless!"
