    Left my Prius at home today and decided to walk to my weekend job only to be passed by a white Prius V with plates that said "MS PRIUS." Resisted running after for the Prius wave... Half tempted to get vanity plates that say "MR PRIUS." That is...if no one else in VA already has them, lol.

    Vanity plates waste of money. Just my opinion

    Walking great exercise

    Yeah, I especially think the ones meant to stir up a fuss are definitely not worth it.

    But yes, it was great exercise, the important question is will I chicken out and have someone pick me up from work, lol. :p

    Walking is one of the best things you can do for yourself and for the environment. If you can do it on a regular basis, you should be able to go further and faster than you once thought possible.

    Build up your walking distances gradually. I recall one time getting it into my head to walk to work, around 6 km distance. Got there fine, sat down at my desk, fine, about 1/2 hour later got up, or tried to get up: one of my knees was feeling really weird. A day later it was ok, but just saying ;)

    I started off walking my roommate's dogs, around our neighbourhood. The terrain is hilly and they aren't well trained so I spent a lot of effort slowing them down. Boy could I feel the burn, lol.

    LOL at the vanity plate... Ive always fantasized about getting one that says "BzztZap", playing off the electric part of the Prius :D

    Haha, nice. If I ever were to get vanity plates, I'd probably go for something like "CUBSTER."
