Talking Re: What is your primary vehicle?

Hi,

Add to this the lack of acceleration on freeway on-ramps, and I’m a statistic waiting to be tolled. (Death toll)

Additionally, I can’t have more than one other person in the car, because they simply won’t fit, and I can’t go on a shopping spree, because any significant purchases won’t fit in the car either.

So I have come to the conclusion that most folks who own hybrids must also have a “Real Car”, as their primary mode of transportation. I’m hoping that (Almost) everyone here will chime in, and tell me what their “Real Car” is:

So, What is your real car?
I'm so sorry to hear this. So how much are you asking for your Prius?
What year?
How many miles?
What options?
What color?

When can I come over an take a look at it?
Where?

ps. My NHW11 Prius is my primary car and the backup is a 2001 Echo. I have a trailer hitch on the rear and could move up to 1,450 lbs of fat friends in a pinch.
