My time with the Prius has wrapped up again ... for now. I'm sure my frequent-flier friends will inquire about car-sitting -- I mean house & pet-sitting -- again.
I may have said this before, but I think my favourite thing about using it is the serenity of the driving experience in EV mode. My last trip was along a deserted riverside parkway in pleasant sunshine and just-above-freezing temps. Combine those ingredients with quiet, vibration-free propulsion, and it becomes nearly transcendental transportation.
I'd get a car like this if my financial goals didn't preclude tying up so much moolah in a vehicle.
