Default Interviewed by local paper today

I guess I am the local spokesman for hybrids now. Today I was reading an article on line, from my local newspaper. I noticed they were soliciting emails regarding what the average person was doing to combat high fuel prices. So I emailed them and told them I drove a hybrid. They immediately wrote back asking me to call. A reporter interviewed me over the phone for about a half hour. He seemed very interested in what I had to say and asked if I would be available for follow up interviews and pictures.

With some of the untruths I hear and read regarding hybrids, it was nice to provide a few facts to the public, at least locally. When the article goes to press I'll try and link it in the proper forum.

The reporter came to the house last night. Took some pictures of me and the car. The story will be in the Sunday edition. It will be in the Milford daily news and the Metro West news if anyone is local to the Boston burbs.

I especially liked the way the camera man positioned so your RV and the pickup truck were over your shoulders!! LOL!!!

FYI, I'm picking up a Class B Coachman for my wife's birthday next weekend. This will also include developing a way to flat-tow my 2003 Prius. There will be more about this later.

Great job!
