I bought a Classic Prius (hybrid-electric, fuel-efficient,
super-ultra-low-emission vehicle) back on 9/9/2000 and drove it in Minnesota
until I replaced it on 10/23/2003 with an Iconic Prius (which was even cleaner and
more efficient). Then on 5/26/2009, I upgraded to a 2010 Prius (for
amazing efficiency). Following that on 2/29/2012, I got my first plug-in
model (pushing MPG significantly higher). You can't help but to love every minute of it, after
all that time () of Prius
ownership. |
