    It is, you have to go to the right of the screen and load up the autoshow (Detroit).

    It must be one of those alternative ending videos, with 3x different endings.

    I got this one

    That was kind of like the red carpet interviews before hollywood award shows.
    That's so cool that you actually got to meet him. You must have been so excited!
    You should have asked him to sing one of his Prius tunes while playing a guitar.

    You didn't ask him about the details of the next big What Drives Us episode though. What adventures are they going to embark on in Season Four?
    Are they going to try to drive across China in a Prius c on one tank of gasoline with no backup?

    Tony, how did the Monopoly game in the background of the video work?

    It's true. It was a thrill for him to interview me. :)

    The Monopoly game was one big ride-along where a Product Specialist drove you around an enclosed track all the while talking about the vehicle you're in. Uneventful for those of us who have already ridden/driven all the vehicles. (the c was not available)

    I can't complain, though. I got $100 out of it.

    How'd you manage to do that . . . did you lift his wallet?

    He doesn't carry a wallet. All his money is in a white cotton bag that has a big $ on the side.

    It turns out that for someone with an enlarged head he's a very fast runner and tackles really hard.
