...and thats not counting another big book just on the navigation system.

After a six month delay, where I putted around with a company car, basking in a no car payment lifestyle, I finally got around to acquiring a new 2008 Black Prius. Yay for me.

high five. go you!!:banging:

what does it say

the other night when i was watching lost, for whatever reason, i thought of you and that time we saw imperial teen at the GAM hall. i wish i hadn't been such a douche all nervy about monet's hissy fits and talked to you more back then.

The service manual on that thing must be several volumes.

what does it say

I'll tell you after I finish reading it.

I would like a five-page report, double-spaced in 12 point Times New Roman font, no later than Thursday morning at 11 a.m. Eastern.

Amazing. I watch Lost, too! Don't worry, I'm a lot more boring than even my internet persona.

ach. i have no clever retort.

Just sitting down in the car as they showed me a "quick" superficial rundown of how to work all the doo-hickeys and whatchamacallits and stereo and nav and bluetooth phone and smart key system and blahalhkajlfkj took over a half hour. My eyes glazed over after awhile and all I could think of is how bad this headache I have is and I haven't eaten in 9 hours.

nonsense. i remember wishing there could be a way i could listen to your conversations with jared without you guys being aware just so i could hear how funny and not feel like a creepy girl for it either. i secretly love the magic bond between two men. :(

I never have to take the key (fob) out of my pocket to open and start the car! amazing. you start the car by pushing a button. yes. a. button. i tells you!

old and busted:

our Versa has that (it's a turn thing not a button)- and the keyless entry, it's sweet
although, I've nearly forgotten to turn the car off once or twice now...

nice man. i've never read the manual on mine, can you let me know if you come across something you think i really oughtta know?


edit: also, congrats!!

hmmmm...i came across on the internets supposedly a way to turn off the beeping from the rear view camera when in reverse. have you done that?

no, i'd like to hear about it though. i think three beeps would suffice, y'know? i didn't get mine with the gps or the nav system, though my friend did and there's a way to trick it into letting you input things when driving

eh, i dunno if its worth the effort.

yeah i had to get a nav system. after having a nav system with my previous car, i vowed to never get any future cars without one.

i just read that you can turn off the car while in motion if you hold down the power button for more than three seconds

should've titled the thread "look at me, i bought a prius"

too right.

look at me, I went from a sports car Nissan 350z to a hybrid Toyota Prius

look at me, I'm a looney lefty annoying self righteous environmental wannabe

look at me, I think I'm better than everybody

look at me, i'm bored at work and only car about my own thread

look at me, im inflating my post count with filler

Im not a fan of that car's design. its pretty ugly.

not an uncommon opinion amongst my friends

but i think the benefits of its mpg and all those dohickeys outweigh its inability to look good.

what about the smart car?
