Now that post is just wrong I heard the Vikings want Brett to play for them! Wouldn't that be funny...oh well - I don't need to go off on the Brett Favre soap opera!

Thanks everyone for the advice!! I was just in Texas for work for 3 days last week and ofcourse upgraded to the Prius for an extra $12.00 per day. (Who cares - the company was paying for the car!).
I have to say I was pleased! I got about 46 mpg in 100 degree weather and running the AC on auto at 72 degrees. The car only had 3,500 miles on it so it was definitely newer.
It was a little more "squirrely" on the highway - I was going about 75 - 80 on the freeway - than my Santa Fe is. But still manageable.
It was definitely different when I "pressed" the Park Button and when I turned it on and didn't hear anything.
I also noticed that the windows aren't angled as much as I'm used to - so there is a lot of wind in the car when I put the windows down...but then again, I did that on the highway at higher speeds.
I LOVE all of the storage that it has in the center console...3 times I couldn't find my phone or my wallet and here I had just put it in one of the many storage containers!
Thanks again for the advice...it should be here soon!!!
Now I'm trying to sell my Hyundai - I just listed it on Craigslist and sent emails out from work, so here's hoping!!!

I work just a couple of miles from the Viking's headquarters. About the time that the news of Favre was interested in playing for the Vikings, a very nasty thunderstom rolled through the area. During the high winds and hail we told our Packer fans in the office that this was a sign from God that he had signed with the Vikings.

The only sport I care about is F1 racing, so I usually skip the sports section of the paper, but this soap opera has been interesting.
