HOURCAR VOTES 2008

On Tuesday, November 4 (which is election day in case you have forgotten), HOURCAR is helping its members vote. If you need to give an elderly neighbour, friend or relative a ride to the polls, grab an HOURCAR. If you are working a Get Out The Vote campaign, grab an HOURCAR. If you are serving as an election official or poll watcher, grab an HOURCAR.

Each car will have a map of the wards and precincts in its city and a list of local polling places, so vote early (but please, not often).

HOURCAR is so so solar

Senator Klobuchar goes for a drive. As far as we know, she's the first congress member to drive a solar-powered plug-in hybrid, and definitely the first one in a solar-powered shared car (because it's the first one :)

Senator Klobuchar returns from her trip. HOURCAR's own Christopher rides shotgun.
