This reminds me of a story I like to tell. When my TCH was only two-days old I took my daughter to visit some relatives who live up in the hills. On our way back from a lake visit, we saw a couple of deer near the roadside. I was in all-electric mode so the car made very little noise. We pulled up right along side the deer as they were eating grass on the side of the road. I felt like I was in a toyota commercial. I could almost hear the toyota spokesman say "the critters won't run away from the engine noise when there is no engine noise." I know it sounds corny, but it really was a special moment.
