Well, I've had my White #9 Prius for a little over a week now and have received numerous comments and observations from friends and family. Here's my top ten list.

10. Can you drive it on the highway, will it keep up with traffic
9. Where do you plug it in
8. How long does it take to recharge at night
7. It's bigger inside than I would have thought
6. I looks like an egg, where's the yoke
5. That's the shifter!!!
4. What do you mean you don't need a key
3. Is that one of those Hydrids
2. What's a hybrid

and the number one comment -
1. So, does this make you an official tree hugger

:lolup:
A good response might be: "No, but I play one on TV."

My #1 before a demo drive is "Are you hitting the [fuel economy] numbers?".

My #1 after a demo drive is "I can't believe they did it for the price!".

Those last two pretty well describe the reactions of the eight cow-orkers I've treated. For some reason the mechanical engineers seem most excited by it.

One comment I got was "Oh my god, your card just stalled..." I then continued driving to their amazement :-)

Is that a Hybrid???
How long can you go without charging the battery!!
I think that they are just so funny when they ask me those!

It makes me laugh though! LOL.
