    Enjoy everything about the new baby in the garage/driveway!

    Had my car since September and still look for reasons to drive her - in my case this was "Fisher Price My First New Car....":D

    That's what I mean. I remember when I first got my new Prius, I was looking (and finding) reasons to drive it. Eventually, this passes, but enjoy the feeling, it is a normal (to me) part of owning a new car.

    Love that she now has a name! :) Nice MPGs as well - weather has been warmer here and I watched my MPGs go up over the past two weeks....

    There is something about a new car... spent the day vacuuming some stray sand from under the mats, gave the baby a good scrubbing outside and inside... and my brother actually helped to dry her off before I put her in the garage....

    very much so. the new rush of driving a car with two modes of propulsion is going to last quite a while i think. electric driving is a thrill and quite addicting! thanks for asking.(y)

    Coach,
    When do you predict you will need to fill up?

    BTW - if you haven't already, jump onto Fuelly and get yourself a fuelly tag. As an additional hint, if you attach a picture to your fuelly account, your account goes to the top of the displayed lists (there are 2 sections to the list, the top section (which you see when you long onto fuelly and search out your car) has pictures in the avatar, the second section is for the pictureless accounts. The sections then descend by date from the last fill up. Get a picture of Sylvia on your account, add in the fill up information and you'll be on the top of the list.
