    I think it is time to pitch a reality show. Prius owners are given crappy directions and have to perform whacky stunts as they travel cross country (like Amazing Race) to visit/date Octavia (like The Bachelor). The working title is "Octane for Octavia" and Toyota & Shell are natural sponsors. MTV? Fox? Are you listening?

    Thats so sweet! The poll Daniel created is starting to turn... several people can do without me thank you. It was starting to hurt my feelings! These last two posts sure brightened up my day.

    Give them good directions, but make them use the Nav system.

    :D

    Okay, I actually like the OEM Nav, but there is room for improvement.

    My Nav lady is passive-aggressive. She sometimes tells me to turn the wrong way and other shenanigans. I don't think I would trust her to lead me to Octavia.

    Hey kid, I'd go ANYWHERE just to meet you!

    No doubt. Your nav lady would probably direct you to a very aggressive S&M transvestite bar

    Yet another passive-aggressive move since I'm not a member of the RNC. :madgrin:

    I also do windows, and have learned - over 4 decades - the exact moment to make sniffling noises during the "sensitive" part of a movie

    i will refrain from telling you what i really feel as it will make no difference anyway since it is only an opinion.

    its alarming to me that most people feel that there is only one reason to meet this lady. having met her, i can assure you, that is not correct by a long shot

    Is she the one who lives next door to Alice?

    Lighten up, I can't believe what I'm reading.
    Yeah, go ahead, as long as it will attract more cute chicks to PriusChat.

    From her postings on PC and FaceBook I just get the impression that Octavia is a really nice and interesting person, who like most of the people on PriusChat, I'd love to meet in person. She also happens to be very easy on the eye and has a great fun personality. I wouldn't go half way around the world in the belief I would sleep with her, that would be stupid. It would be cheaper to pay someone locally for sex. But if I had the means I would circle the globe to meet Octavia as I almost did in January 2009 to meet other PriusChatters.

    It's a long story ....

    Would probably have the opposite effect, especially the Shiny Head Factor
