I overtly snuck over to Daox's house tonight under the guise of seeing his house and having dinner.

But secretly, I was spying on the new Prius.
I did notice that the car was in the driveway, while non-operative vehicles occupied the garage.

I also saw the Prius used this last weekend to haul recycled windows. I'm sure the weight dragged down the fuel average, but it's a long-term energy gain when those windows get re-used for renewable energy projects.
