It was time to think about getting a new car.
Thanks to BEA being bought last year and Mom's advances on our inheritance, I had some money sitting around screaming "SPEND ME!"
Today was the day to obey the money.
I didn't record the results of the poll I had with my BEA story but I remember what the outcome was. The choice with the most votes was "Buy a Prius."
I bought a 2010 Prius IV.
You thought I'd get your basic model? I thought I would have but I didn't. I wanted the solar powered ventilation system and the remote air conditioning system. I didn't really want heated, leather seats but, hey, why not? I've been rather frugal with my cars for a while.
Now I have to read about all the fun things I can do with it. I have to learn how to get my phone to talk through the bluetooth connection to the car. I have to figure out all the buttons (there are a lot of buttons).
It's going to take a while to be able to just walk up to the car and get going. Cars need keys in an ignition switch to run. At least they used to.
Well, I need to read up on this thing.

Very awesomely cool! Congrats! I thought back when you posted (maybe it was on FB?) about how few cards you had owned that you were due soon. Yay! Wonderful choice!
That's *cars* you had owned.
As my Lunch Buddy used to say, "Schweet ride!"
Great choice. Congratulations! I can hardly wait to get a ride in it.
Poss says there's one Prius model that parallel parks itself. Does yours do that?
I didn't get the parallel parking model. That would have resulted in a Level V Smug Alert.
you definitely got the car I want. will have to wait a few years.
Whoa! I like it!
