YKYAEM if....
My wife and I send picture messages bragging when our current MPG rating on the scanguage is REALLY good......and she is actually nearly as good as you are!
If only she didn't prefer air conditioning so much, she'd likely beat me....

YKYAEM
when on a morning walk on your wooded country road you spot a neighbors car.....
then do a double take as you noticed but thought nothing of the boat tail on his Prius.
it took me about a minute to say, that's new, i wonder when he built it? Then I asked myself if he has a build thread up (did not find it).
Himm? so did he see my car (he passes me on our way home about once a month) and decide to make it?

Seriously? Must post photos of said boat-tailed Prius & find thread (if it exists)!

I have some smart phone long distance pics but it's hard to see it with the trees. I may stop by today and ask about it.
The car is black and the tail is flat black too.
Looks well done and about the right angles.

You used to get angry when people pulled out in front of you and now you get angry when they pull out behind you

WS: If so, you must be the only ecomodder to live on the same street as another boat-tailed car.
1carnut: ha, true!

I got some pics where you can see the tail , I will try to upload them after church.
What are the odds that my 2 mile long, sparcly populated country road would have two boat tails?

A few months ago I returned home just as my neighbor pulled into his driveway. It was cold (around freezing) with some rain and sleet, and he yells to me: You rode your bike? In this weather?!?
So the other day we both returned home at the same time again, only now the weather is warm, sunny, with no wind. And I yell to him: You took the car? In this weather?!?
