    Hey all!

    I'm now a Lyft driver in my spare time!

    If you don't know what Lyft is, here you go: Lyft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I have of course been trying to plug in as much as possible but there are quite a few miles where I've been using it as a regular Prius around town. Getting good at pulse and glide again. ;)

    Very glad I have 5 usable seats, too.

    We had something like that here a few years ago. I believe it came to a halt after someone got car-jacked.

    Congrats!
    I'm an Uber driver myself.

    Very nice way to make some cash on the side.
    Also a great way to introduce people to how much room there really is in a Prius.

    I worked for the Naval Research Lab briefly (8 yrs) when I left active duty in the nineties, and I used to put quirky bumper stickers on my car to watch the oceanographers flop and twitch. One of them was this:

    When I was looking for an image of that sticker, I came across a UK WEBSITE (zazzle.co.uk) that
    I placed in my previous post.
    Usually, the UK and the US are people that are separated by a common language (George Bernard Shaw) and our humor is slightly different to say the least. I came across the hybrid related sticker there.
    I love the irony of a company in the UK producing a bumper sticker that says:

    Don't Mess with my Dog, my Gun, or my Truck......or you might get Bit, Shot, or Run Over!

    Not the usual 'British Understated' :)
