Looked nice in the flesh. Couldnt see the inside though since it was on a spinning platform.

Here is my daughter in her spokesmodel debut:

Some day when she's an old grand mother she can show that picutre to her great grand kids and tell them how she was around when you could only buy cars with gas engines and they'll be astonished at how cheap oil must've been for billions of people around the world to burn what will likely eventually become the most precious of resources at the rate of billions of gallons per day and auto makers ludicrously thought it could go on forever even as consumption increased exponentially along with the world population and oil production rates began to decline and prices kept going up and up.

The grand kids will really get a laugh when she tells them that instead of trying to find an alternative. Our government spent hundreds of billions trying to find out if global warming was real and trying to think of a way to convert 1 billion legacy ICE cars, trucks, planes and farming equipment to FCVs that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each along with the hundreds of thousands of obsolete fueling stations that needed to be converted to storing and dispensing ultra high pressure hydrogen worldwide when instead they should've been investing in finding ways to make scalable and sustainable biofuels.

If that doesn't do it, she can point to the white SUV in the back ground and tell them that the Toyota brand was known for being the most "fuel efficient" auto maker.
