The 3^rd annual Alternative Energy and Transportation is coming to the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on September 26^th and 27^th.  Admission is free, and the exhibits will be more extensive than ever.  Relocating the show to the auditorium provides much more space in the exhibit hall.  The Alt Build Show was held there this year as well, and the experience was much improved over prior years in the smaller quarters of the airport hanger.  Obviously, green is on the minds of more and more of us, and we are excited about this year’s show.

 

One of the features of the Alt Car Show is the opportunity to go hands on with the vehicles.  Many of the vehicles on display are also available for a test drive.  Last year, we drove the Honda Civic NGV, the natural gas powered Civic.  We really wanted to ride the Vectrix electric motorcycle, which was a very popular attraction in the demonstration area.  We plan to do that this year.  It should be a beautiful day and a really good time!
