    smaller is ok in the Leaf since it will be for around town stuff. the Volt, smaller is not an option because it needs to carry luggage. as it was, in my 2010 which is somewhat bigger than the Gen 2's, it was a cram session for our 12 day road trip.

    You want *more* bribes? I don't see this ending well. Don't force me to activate the electromagnetic pulse device in that little dalmation Prius I gave you.

    At least I was *wearing* pajamas.....:)

    I made an entire video episode about the expo. I probably ran into several people from Prius Chat, but I wouldn't know what any of you look like. Maybe some of you made it into the video?

    Great! A couple of items.
    1. You didn't get me in there, but you got my Rav (briefly with the good up. The clean one of the group!)
    2. The CNG vehicles are factory cars, not aftermarket conversions. I suppose you could accurately call them "before market" conversions. Most of the trunk is taken up with the CNG tank. Few other changes from the gas version.

    Oh, and I got to ride in both a Tesla, and Darell's RAV4


    I prefer the RAV4... but the Tesla was fun! :p

    That a girl!

    You don't hear THAT comment every day! The amazing thing to me was that there was significant interest in the "old boring" Rav4EVs. At past events when Teslas have been present, nobody even bothers to look over at the Ravs. Was quite refreshing in that regard.

    Have to get to bed. Driving a Volt tomorrow.

    The little Prius with spots on my dash was a gift from Hyo! :)

    He very carefully put all those spots on it, on the drive to the Expo. :)

    :hug:
