Also, if anyone reads the online mock newspaper The Onion, this week has a great opinion article called "Follow that Prius." It is hilarious. check it out at www.theonion.com

I read the "Follow That Prius" piece, and thanks much, it was mucho funny !!

Welcome Benb,

What a great choice of first car. My first car was a family gift, and I still have it, but I consider my Prius my first new car.

That Onion article is pretty good, but I can't stand soy milk. Blech! So, you won't see me in a Starbucks drive through getting a wimpy coffee drink when I can have a strong coffee drink from the same establishment.
