It was a bit poignant seeing the Civic go. Even the last picture I took, in the towing yard, looks forlorn:



From that angle, you can't even see that the trunk was pushed into the passenger compartment.

The Prius' fuel log isn't helped by the fact that two weeks after I bought it, I took it on a 2000-mile business trip that necessitated some, uh, spirited driving if we were going to get home at a decent hour. In my normal commute, it's been returning better mileage than the Civic at comparable temperatures/time of year. And that was before any aeromods!
