My carbon footprint is just a wee bit smaller now! I picked up my new car last night and I LOVE it. As anticipated, it was a little bittersweet telling the 4Runner goodbye (I had to clean out 10 years worth of random junk before I left it at the dealership). The salesman probably thought I was nuts, but he was so sweet and even emailed me a photo of my old truck.
The new car is awesome. I’d only heard good things about the Prius but I had no idea how cool it actually is. I’m not really a gadget person, but this car is FULL of them. There’s a touchscreen on the dash that shows you if you’re running off battery or gas, displays a backup camera, controls the radio and air, and other coolness that I haven’t even figured out yet. The smart key is pretty sweet, too; no more digging in my bottomless purse for keys. And most importantly– I’m not going to fill up twice a week, the car doesn’t shake, and it’s probably not going to catch on fire. Nice.
I haven’t taken a photo yet, but this is what it looks like:
So yeah, so far I’m not missing the SUV at all. If anyone’s looking into a hybrid I would definitely recommend this one!
