Got a prius
« on: January 04, 2008, 01:20:47 PM »
Well we needed a new car and i cant stand a gas bill of over $400 a month. My brother had one of the first prius in Texas when they came out. He has said nothing but good things about the car so we just went ahead a purchased one last week. After a week of driving it all i can say is that its one hell of a great ride. Averaged 50.2 mpg on the first tank.

Only problem is that i am going to need to fix the ranch road so that i dont bottom out. I cant wait to go to the ranch and it will only cost me $12 instead of the $48 that it would normally cost. Toyota is coming out with a truck hybrid that i am going to keep my eye on.

There are a good half dozen of them here in the parking lot where I work.

It's kinda cool to park next to one as the owner is getting in/out and gunning the LS1 a bit before I turn it off.

They are definitely getting more and more prevailant around here.

I can not hear or read the name "Prius" without thinking about the Jeff Dunham routines.

I was all ready to make fun of you for "helping the environment", but I see that you are only trying to save gas money...  Oh well.  :)

No.

And it's "Camaro".

Probably so, I haven't had the notion to price a Prius.

Just about all the Prius drivers where I work are bean counters.

You do the math.

I wasn't implying, I am saying, the Prius drivers here are the corporate accountants.

Fubar - No, not Heinz.  I wish though.  I really dig on their ketchup.
