Finally joined the "good guys"

After procrastinating for 60,000 miles of butt-aching commutes in my '98 Tacoma I finally decided to go for a Prius a month ago only to get the string along from local dealers in Houston about waiting times, package avails, distributor add-ons etc etc. What a stroke of luck.....while driving home from the office last week.....a magnetic grey Pri sitting outside Don McGill Toyota.....U-turn to scope it out......a base model no-less with only a couple of distributor add-ons.......a quickie test drive (just for grins) and the usual to and fro with the sales manager.....and home we go!!! Loving the ride!!!
