I, Smug

Goodbye, trusty Honda car.

Hello, new and fabulous Prius!

Stats so far:

• 7 days old;
• 478 miles driven before first gas refill;
• 43 miles per gallon averaged;
• 1 happy, happy car owner.

And I just can't get enough of that new car smell.

That is a pretty, pretty car. Does it have a name?

Speaking of, do you name your cars? Personally, I do not. They are "Audi" or "Celica" or "Outback" to me. I suppose I could have used "Oddy Audi" or "Erica Celica" or "Out and A-boot Outback".

Did you show off your car to G? Hey, G, what did you think of Sheila's car?

My first-ever car was a blue 1971 Honda hatchback. It was square and boxy so I called it The Blue Ice Cube but that became rather cumbersom. I have not named a car since.

My sister Karen calls all her cars Nellie as in "Whoa there, Nellie." Or maybe that's just her kick-ass, horse-trailer-hauling trucks.

Perhaps I shall name my Prius George.

P.S. G liked the new car smell, too.

Yes, we saw the car. It, like Sheila, is absolutely fabulous. They deserve each other.

I supposed you’ll get the “clean air” sticker that will allow you to prance around carefree in the carpool lane at any time of day regardless of the number of passengers in your new vehicle while thumbing your nose at the “rest of us” in our non-clean air vehicles stuck in gridlock. You and the “rest of them” think you’re better than “us” don’t you? DON’T YOU?

I mailed the application for the clean air/carpool lane sticker today.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
