I'm Alone at Work with my Prius

My Pri has a friend at work. And they usually park together all day long :lol: The other lady bought her's first so you could say I bought mine so her's would not feel lonely.

 

lately there's always at least one prius within direct line of sight from mine. the red ones seem to be multiplying. i don't ask.

Poor little Pri! I hope she gets a companion.

We have about 200 people in our office, and we're up to 6 Pri's - 2 silver, 2 driftwood pearl and 2 red (1 salsa & 1 Barcelona.) The grandmammy is an '03 silver. One day soon we're going to line them all up and get a pix to post on PC.

You're so considerate making such a sacrifice. That was such a kind thing to do. B)

We have at least a half dozen where I work. Of course, we do have about 1000 (I don't know the actual number.) employees here.

It was such a huge sacrifice, but someone had to do it and it might as well have been me...

I thought at first that this was going to be one of those twisted "Im in love with my Prius & it talks to me threads". But I was wrong.

Dude advertise..... Post the data on a side rear window,
top spd 109 mph
11 gal = 500 mi
0-60 = 10.0 sec
Cost $25k
saftey features
Fuel savings
Fill ups per month, compaired to SUVs
ect, ect.
That gets em every time, the sheeple just want to be informed they follow what they know as being tried and true. Make them think how much money they will save.! I saved $2300 the first year switching from my truck to the Prius in 04... B)

 

I work with a guy who admitted he made a stupid mistake when he bought his 2006 Equinox. He drives 98 miles per day, round trip to work.

People seem curious about just "how good" the mileage is, but when it comes to actually taking the plunge and buying a Prius, very few are willing to give up their giant trucks and SUVs.

...sure.....just keep pissing that money away....

 

The Prius is dead as a rock. It's just a car and needs no company to feel happy.

I know we're all kidding, but this tendency to feel that somehow it's alive is what leads, in my opinion, to the use of synthetic oil, nitrogen-filled tires, and other such niceties to make the car "feel" good.

Blasphemer!
:angry:

OK. So I'm kidding.

 

My department has two parking lots, one on each side of the building. There are 3 to 4 Prii on the side where I park my Prius. Actually, 3 of us parked right next to each other today. On the other side of the building, I spotted 2 to 3 more Prii's. This place is a Prii heaven!

 

The boss owns a Gen I, and there are two other Gen IIs, so I came in late on that. Heck, the place where I work makes hybrid engines for buses, so there's plenty of hybrid company (watch the Channel 10 clip, mine's the first Prius you see).

 

I was the first last year but now I've seen four or five around the various floors of the parking garage over the last few months. Heck, I even have another Prius owner that works on the same floor of my building. Also, now my CEO has a Camry hybrid. It kind of makes you wonder what the parking lots will look like on one or two more years as fuel prices keep going up.

 

I work in a small company (< 25 people) so I am the only one, but I sometimes walk to a nearby cafe for lunch and notice the Pria are multiplying in nearby parking lots. In the lot next to ours, there are now 3 white ones just like mine, a silver and a red.
