1st commute in the Prius ...
1st commute in the Prius ...
We tried to leave early to get in by 8:00, we got in by 11:00!! The San Mateo Bridge was closed westbound because of an accident and it affected every other freeway in the Bay Area! I tried going over city streets, get off 680, try 24, terrible! We finally just pulled over and relaxed for a bit (nap) and let it clear out, and an hour later it was a little better. But the good part is we averaged 49 MPG for the first 90 miles! Woo Hoo! I seem to drive a bit more relaxed in the Prius, in the F-150 I was always getting mad, no one could accellerate fast enough for me! Now I am just relaxed and saving gas. tracyv 8^P~~ ~ ~`

We picked up the Prius!
We picked up the Prius!
It drives and looks great!! We got a black (grey interior) Package 3 with a 6 CD changer! Let the gas savings begin!! We had to change vehicles, our commute is between 59 and 75 miles one way, depending on which way we go. The only problem so far, is that we have to bring it back to get that outside coating stuff put on. I had a black car get overspray from an apartment being painted and I was pissed, so I wanted the coating to protect it that way at least. Anyone out there have a Prius or a different hybrid or electric vehicle? tracyv

We finally got our Prius ... Well the paperwork is done, we are just waiting on the car!!
We finally got our Prius ... Well the paperwork is done, we are just waiting on the car!!
Well, it is on its way up the state from LA (shipment) so we should be driving it by Wednesday or Thursday! We will finally save some gas as we have traded in both our 2001 Ford F150 (4.6L V8) and the 2000 VW GLX Turbo Beetle (1.8L). Both cars are hitting that 5 year mark or over and we need something reliable for the long commute and the gas prices are killing us. In the bay area it is pretty high, possible the highest in the country, at 2.89 to 2.99 a gallon for the good stuff, the cheap 87 is about 2.69 to 2.79 a gallon. That is totally outrageous, but I do not see it ever coming down very much again. In fact as more and more people by the hybrids and this summer when all the manufacturers unveil their new releases the gas prices will most likely go up so the oil companies can make more $$!! We have sworn off Starbucks so we can save some money as well, you do not want to even fathom how much we were wasting there! (2 people sometimes 3 times a day, shit!) We are trying to get a better hold of our finances so we can save some $$, pay off credit card debt, etc. I am still so happy that we were able to get the Prius with our crappy credit, our payment is not fantastic, but we can re-fi with our credit union once we get a few things off our credit report. Man, taking a look at your credit report will ruin your day, there are always things there that you thought were clear and done, staring you in the face! What a week, I hope the car comes soon! tracyv

My wife makes we watch the Gilmore Girls ...
And I make annoying comments every few seconds or so ... and there is a scene where this one character "Lane" is in a band and her mother is a little strict ... well all the band members were getting ready to play and I say to my wife, "Look at this Sebastian Bach looking motherf*cker!! ... Wait I think that IS Sebastian Bach!!" So Nicole jumped on IMDB.com and yes Sebastian Bach was in 6 episodes of The Gilmore Girls as Gil. Ha! That was funny, we were rolling! Anyone remember the song I Remember You? tracyv

Saw Sin City Last Night ...
Saw Sin City Last Night ...
Great Movie!! If you want to see a good movie (Do not bring kids!) see Sin City!! Everyone in it did a fantastic job, they mixed 3 of the stories (The Comics) in to make a good story. The filming was even true to the comic book drawing, I was really impressd! So if you want a good time at the movies (Finally, there hasn't been anything good lately!) go see Sin City! tracyv 8^P~~ ~ ~`
