I Suck At Driving A Prius

it's a good thing i didn't have a wager and competition against my friend (hot amy) on who would be driving a toyota prius first, because i would have easily lost that bet... because i suck at driving a prius.

hot amy recently became the proud owner of a new toyota prius. she had ordered it awhile ago, but with the high demand from consumers for the toyota prius... she had to wait for her new car to arrive. hopefully, she will be a little more discreet in hiding the corpses of her victims/former boyfriends in this car... so as to avoid the blood splatter stains as noticed in her previous vehicle.

anyway, i must say... i am slightly jealous that hot amy has a prius. in fact, i wanted to own a prius before saving gas and the environment was so chic. when toyota first launched the prius (and i was still puttering around in my little purple saturn... which was at that time... a different kind of car...a different kind of company), i remember telling my friend (joanna) about how the prius was my dream car... at least until car companies start mass producing vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells. (i believe california has already started implementing the necessary infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cell cars. thanks to the governator... ah-nold.) needless to say, joanna was a little surprised about my choice. i think joanna was also pleased by the choice too because she's all about the environment... again back before saving the environment was so chic.

what can i say... we were trend setters. and now, i get to sound old and bitter like a grumpy old man who precedes every sentence with "back in the day..." i hope hot amy enjoys my dream car.

as for the prius, i still want to own one. maybe by the time i'm ready for a new car, massachusetts will have the necessary infrastructure for hydrogen fuel cells. that would be cool. and not to be picky, but i'd also prefer to have my car made with carbon fiber as well. for anyone curious, carbon fiber has a high strength-to-weight ratio... which when used for vehicles will provide greater miles per gallon due to the sheer lightness of the vehicle, yet still be strong enough to survive an impact.

well, i can always dream.

interestingly enough, i have just learned that hot amy apparently ran over a curb entering the garage today. perhaps it is hot amy who should actually be saying she sucks at driving a prius... :) no... i'm not bitter. just kidding.
