Hi Sam, I've found just talking to someone in sales works pretty well. I have become good friends with one dealer, and another just gives me panels from time to time. I pitch myself as a student in mechanical engineering doing experiments in solar energy (which I am). Some dealerships say that VW tells them to give these to the customers, so they don't have any. Others say that they don't trust the customer to unplug them, etc., so they have lots laying around. Good luck! bmc :) Ben McCafferty ben@volkscafe.com Volks Cafe 1823 Soquel Avenue Santa Cruz, CA 95062 831-426-1244 http://www.volkscafe.com
