I'm driving up to Cincinnati Ohio today to reconnect with some friends and do some job search stuff. I embark on the 8.5 hour drive right after my matinée. I decided to rent a car since mine (her name is Jane) is getting old and I don't want to put more miles on her than I have to. Jane is a '94 Ford Escort who has seen me through a lot- but bless her heart, her days are numbered. So- I went to Enterprise to rent a small car. I ended up waiting in their lobby for a long time-- I think they forgot at about me. The manager apologized (unprompted) and offered me a free upgrade- to a Toyota Prius Hybrid! SWEET! These are beautiful cars with great fuel efficiency. Operating the Prius feels like flying a space ship. No wonder one Trekie converted his (click here for more info). I have to admit, that when I first got in, I didn't know how to turn it on. The key looks more like a remote and the car has a power button to turn on. Oh my god- I think I'm in love!
OMG... I can just imagine you in the Prius. "Shields up!" as you pull onto the on ramp for I-75. :) LOVE IT!
