be a smarty pants: win a teeny, tiny car

5 comments August 8th, 2008

to take a page from applesauce: this just in!

the 2008 clean air green tour will stop in rockford from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. aug. 21 at lowe’s.

the press release says the tour’s centerpiece is a state-of-the-art 40-foot biodiesel motor coach equipped with solar power charging.

ok, cool enough, but you can enter to win a 2009 smartfortwo, the itsy bitsy car that gets 41 mpg on the highway.

also of note, there will be a green model kitchen full of bosch appliances (with a 10 percent discount available) and free samples of salada green tea (one of my faves — logli, why did you stop selling it!?). gee, wonder who is sponsoring this tour? those two, plus indy racing league (danica!) and americans for balanced energy choices (maybe the biggest surprise of all: the coal people).
