Sayonara, Prius!

High insurance rates: that's Ontario for you.

And finally, here's my "Sayonara Prius!" pic, with the new owner at the helm.



He's a younger guy, maybe mid 20's? His mom came with him to look at the car, because the ownership went under her name. Hilariously, she was the Bad Cop in the negotiation process. Sharp eyes too: she noticed a chip in the windshield that I hadn't noticed, and it really needs to be fixed/patched (or whatever you call it) to keep it from turning into a crack. And of course she used it as a negotiating point for a few more bucks off my asking price.
