My man card has been revoked. One of my friends already said, "Well, it's a good thing you're married already" I don't know if he meant it meaning the questionable sexuality, or the no way in liqured up hell I'd get laid with wheels like this.
It's an 06. Been driving it for about a week now. It was cheap...I am cheap. Logic being there are now three drivers, and three seperate trips into town on weekdays. My daughter has been upgraded to a Saturn Vue, and "Fred", her 85 Chevy pickup has been put in reserve for now. My Excursion is parked. Changing out those two will save about 100$ a week. Fuel is only going to cost more in the coming months.
Now, the Prius and my thoughts on it. It is F'n ugly. I haven't driven a car in years...apparently roof lines for these cars are meant for short people. I'm not tall, but still not easy to fold in to. I drive it like a go kart. Not being the typical green car guy, I'm getting about 40mpg around town. Stereo is pretty decent, as is leg room and the hvac setup.
The kids and wife have named it "goose", or the "goose egg". I call it the shitbox.
I like the technology. Been learning a lot about these things.
God it's ugly!
Seen one transplanted drivetrain into a 46 Chevy pickup...Bad ideas have popped into my head. May need to do surgery, or buy a wrecked one to pilfer from.
Did I mention it's ugly?
First step may be to limo tint the thing. Have to hide my face.
