Got a new car

  • Article

It is Toyota Prius.

It is pretty big change for me since I have been driving fast cars for many years. However, most of the time I am now driving in peak traffic taking daughter to and from kindergarden. It has been three weeks and so far I have been enjoying the car, it is indeed a geek toy :-). I wish it had better seats, but otherwise it is great. No rush, I am listening to music, watching cool little energy monitor and enjoying the ride. 48 mpg does not hurt either.

A few states started to give hybrids extra perks, such as right to use HOV lane (CA and NY) with a single driver in the car or free municipal parking in LA and San Jose.
