    My Prius's main duty is hauling a bunch of stuff. I'm a medical sales rep, and previously used an Expedition to carry it all. With carefull thought in what I need to carry, and organization, the Prius does a great job.

    What kind of seat covers and where did you get them? I really like them! Also where did you get the center caps for the wheels? Your car is well protected!

    Amazing. But I think I would have put the big chest on the passenger side... just saying.

    Thanks for the comments. I'll have to look at brand for seat covers, I really like them.
    The cooler is high, so if it's behind drivers seat, it doesn't block my rear view.
    Yes, two brand new prius, we commute a lot.needless to say our fuel consumption is about $1000 less a month than our previous vehicles. They pay for themselves.

    I love the cars, and my biggest surprise is that they are not slow.

    holy macro what did you have before? how many miles do you put a month?

    My '10 perl white sees ~2.5-3K a month and it is <$200 a month. '96 Protege it had replaced was ~300 to fuel. You either drove 15MPG SUV or put 10K a month on your babies.

    Im right at 2.5 to 3K +, myself... yes, I drove my EB 4x4 2003 Expedition for work, and weekend duty before the Prius. That truck gets about 11-13 MPG with the mixed interstate and city driving I do for work. It has a 30 gallon tank and cost anywhere from 70 to over $100 a fill-up. I used to fill up twice a week, sometimes three fill-ups a week. Now that truck sits in the garage except a little weekend driving, and long family trips. So... The Prius is a rediculous change in vehicles.

    My wife drove a Ford 500, avg. MPG about 25. That car saw about 25,000/year.

    I'm selling the Expedition soon,,, to pick up a Ford, lifted, 4x4 ,Diesel Excursion. :D I still have boat towing, and kid hauling duties.

    I have always driven big trucks. I can thank my wife for getting me to even think about the Prius. I honestly was ready to wear the Yota salesman out with how chinsy, and slow the Prius was. I was completely wrong. When I sat down and figured out how much money I was wasting driving a truck to work every day... well I came to my senses. AND, the 3rd Gen Prius is an amazing vehicle. Fun to drive too. I even drive it on the weekend most of the time.
