I had a Prius. While I enjoyed the great gas mileage, I took some heat for it. Admittedly, I kind of enjoyed the attention. Ultimately, I don’t care what people think about what I drive. Although sometimes it gets a bit tiring, mostly because some of the punch lines are older than the Rolling Stones.
Then my Prius got totaled. Some rejoiced. I switched to a Saturn. Few cared. Then that got totaled.
So what now?
As I considered my next vehicle, among other options, I actually looked at another Prius. And so I prayed about it thoughtfully, I thought about it prayerfully, and I reviewed:
“The Prius Pros and Cons”
* PRO – The Prius is Eco-friendly
* CON – The Prius is redneck-hostile
*PRO – The Prius gets dozens of miles per gallon
*CON – The Prius gets dozens of jokes per hour
*PRO – The Prius is so reliable you can drive it for 200,000 miles
*CON – The Prius is so quiet you drive it and not know it
*PRO – The Prius goes over 400 miles on a tank of gas
*CON – The Prius goes 0-60 … eventually.
*PRO – The Prius has low wind resistance
*CON – The Prius can get blown away by a strong wind
*PRO – The Prius can fit in small parking spots
*CON – The Prius can fit in a Ford F-150
So after extensive study, the choice was clear. Of course I got another Prius. I call it “The Sequel”. It’s pretty and red. And with the money I’m saving on gas…
I’m renewing my Man Card.
