Oh What a Feeling!
There's the joy I get from being in the Prius, the increased safety, the increased size and hatchback functionality, the environmental high horse I get to ride on, the tech stuff I get to fawn over and show off to friends and neighbors, the audio-in jack for my beloved iPod, the Smart Entry System which allows me to enter the car and drive away--all without taking the key out of my cavernous purse, the James Bond fish-eye video camera hidden near the rear license plate that allows you to view and avoid backing over small children and pets, the fold-flat back seats that allow room for my kayak inside the vehicle, the steering wheel controls for all of the climate and audio functions, and, last but not least, the Prius will actually result in perfect strangers approaching me to engage in automotive conversations--try that in a Corolla!!Damn, suddenly the Subaru seems kinda inadequate.
Are you smitten with your hybrid? Buying biodiesel? Converted your Hummer to hydrogen? (We're talking to you, Governor!) Or maybe you sold the car and went to pedal power. Whatever. Tell us about it. We want to hear.

Hello Pat,
I only thought I wanted a Prius but after reading your "Oh What A Feeling!" now I am really convinced. Toyota should hire you as a spoke person for their Prius!
Good for you and your GREEN RIDE!!!

Hey Lisa, thanks. But actually the gushing from the ecstatic Prius owner was just passed along to me and I posted it. So, I guess she should be the spokesperson. But, then again, anytime Toyota wants to send me a check .... Actually, I'd settle for a Prius -- preferably a green one.
