Hi everyone. Seems like an active and friendly forum. I'll probably be trading in my 22 MINI S coupe for a 26 Prius LE hybrid (only). I like the way it looks, and change is good, right? lol. I'll be perusing the forums, I imagine, for things like a spare tire solution (in my MINI, I dragged around a full size spare, hydraulic jack, breaker bar. Then, there's the bicycle question. I manage to squeeze my hybrid Trek into the MINI, along with aforementioned spare, with the front wheel and seat removed. I used to have a 2000 VW TDI Beetle and was a denizen of Fred's TDIClub, hence the screen name. Would regularly hit 50 mpg, and one time, as I recall, almost made 900 miles on a tank. Pro tip: don't let your diesel tank run dry, lol. The new model Prius is snazzy looking, and I'm looking forward to perhaps doing some quasi hypermiling again.
The Sales Manager informed me that there a Reservoir Blue Prius LE arriving soon and it has "my name on it", lol.
