One of the fun things about being on a solar car team were the opportunities for outreach. Mostly this means taking the car to a school and explaining solar power, the benefits of an engineering education, or some such. But on occasion, you had groups of adults. In this case, the Central Iowa Model A Club drive their vintage Model A's to Ames one sunny day and pulled right into the parking lot next to our garage in Old Sweeney Hall. They got the nickel tour of the facilities and whatever car we were working on at the time (PrISUm Cynergy, our Sunrayce 95 car, most likely). And then I got a free t-shirt!
