Did, your Prius see it's shadow today?

I really don't know as I arrived at work before dawn. And since it doesn't tell me about its day when I get out of work, I guess I'll never know.
Based on the odor, I AM sure that the animal that came out in the early hours today was black and white, not brown. This 'still Fall, or is it now Spring" winter we are having is really bizzarre. Must be global warming from all the yahoos that are bitching about the price of gas and STILL letting their cars idle while they are gone "only a few minutes".

 

Yes, and it's gonna cost me.

This was its first Gas Hog Day, and I had prepared it by explaining about seeing its shadow. I didn't want it to freak.

As the sun rose, the Prius trembled for a few seconds, then fell totally silent. I checked vital signs and quickly saw the Triangle of Death displayed. I breathed mouth-to-mouth into it, refusing to believe that a car so new could expire so readily.

Finally its "ready" light flickered weakly, then came on. It was alive!

"W-w-what's wrong?" I cried. "Do you feel sick?"

"Look at my shadow!" moaned the Prius, nodding toward the still-distinct shadow. "Long and lumpy! I thought that overnight I had turned into a Hummer!"

Now I have to spring for therapy. It's not covered under the warranty.
