finally drove home our BC Seaside! What a day! Everything went smooth, from applying for a loan at my credit union as well as getting insurance. what a relief. once everything was set, called dealership for pick-up! paperwork was uneventful, just clockwork. and there she was, what a sight! after some pointers (which i didnt really need from all the reading i've done), we were off!
Drive was nice and smooth! What a great car. At first we were overwhelmed by the intrumentation, as well as the thought that we were driving a hybrid. but later it was just like driving any car.
Got to get used to the rear window, visibility seemed limited but i'm sure we'll easily adjust to it.
We drove straight home. Living up a pretty steep hill, we were at the moment of truth. Up we went, with much more power to spare! whew! now just have to test backing up the hill (not all of it but just simulate some situations).
We fiddled around with the multi-info screen, fun fun fun!
one thing we noticed, and didn't check at the dealership were the personal lights under the visors. they did not work! the dome light works though (which we did test back at the dealer). Guess i have to drive it back there in the morning! yay! get to drive it!
:lol:
Aside from those personal lights, everything was great! No mpg to report yet, it's only got 9 miles on it!
Oh yeah, ever since ordering it back in October, we named her Prreecioussss (as in like gollum would say it), thing is, that's also the name of our neighbor's cat.
So upon insistence of our nephews and nieces, she's been dubbed Dory (finding nemo) mainly because of her color.
Woot! Got the call Valentine's day that my BC Seaside arrived! thing is, it's a holiday weekend and bank's closed. 
Anyway, i was told they still have to prep it and do predelivery stuff. I've shopped for insurance, just have to go to credit union and.... woohoo!
