Is she a Prius? What kind? What do the pooches think?

**Freedom** · 08-29-2008, 04:31 PM

Yes, 2008 Toyota Prius, Package #3. The pooches have not yet been in. It takes some adjusting, to learn to drive it well. It is almost like being on the Enterprise: LCD monitor and loads of icons on the dash. I may take them tomorrow. I've only driven it less than an hour thus far, the ever-changing display is FUN; you forget to watch the road!

Very cute! I bet she gets good gas mileage too! Congrats!

**Freedom** · 08-29-2008, 04:35 PM

Yes, it is a gas / electric hybrid. Gets 48 city, 45 highway. I haven't dared try the highway yet.

CONGRATULATIONS SANDIE!!!! It's adorable-I love it. I also love your accessories. Please take a picture of all the dogs in there. I know it will be priceless.

p.s. I almost fainted when I saw the title of the thread. All I could say to myself was, "No She Didn't!!!"

OMG!!! Carmine is GORGEOUS!!! I love the Prius, and want one so bad (just can't afford one right now, lol). That color is just divine! I love all the accessories too!

I have a Nissan Versa, which is like the Ugly Cousin to the Prius, lol. It gets decent mileage, but that's about all I can say for it, lol.

You definitely need to post more pics, and tell us what it's like with all those bells and whistles that your baby has!

He hee, I had fun with the title of this thread, yes. Thought the forum would be a clue.

Thanks all for the good wishes.
My 1998 Honda Civic 2 door with over 98,000 miles needed some work; and I needed 4 doors among other things. It was time for another car, and once I started to research . . . .
