Lost my Prius and on the waiting list.

hdrygas · 08-03-2008, 06:16 PM

I am back after a bit of surgery etc. and I lost my Prius to my daughter. She moved back to Washington and got a job a bit remote from our home. Yes she moved back in temporarily. She had been in DC for 2 years and sold her car and has been using the Metro. Guess what, public transportation is not so good here so she needed a car. After she and her mother shopped for a while dragging me along they decided that I should sell my Prius to her and get a new one. It is on order and who knows when I will get it. In the mean time I am driving the "Beast" my old 1999 Ford Explorer. I hope my Prius gets in soon, my right leg is getting tired trying to make the ICE stop at lights and stop signs. Maybe if I push harder?

Hdrygas,

I feel for you, that could be a l-o-n-g wait.

Meanwhile, checkout this site for serious fuel savings tips/techniques for
non-hybrids... even SUVs.

I like driving my Ford Explorer. I drive it at least 5-10 miles each month now. I think the last time I moved it was 3 weeks ago.
