Yes, I have joined the hippies and bought myself a new hybrid car! For the past year (about) I have NOT had a car. I have been driving family/friends cars as well as A LOT of public transportation. I sold my 2005 Subuaru WRX STI Crystal Grey Metallic last summer before leaving for a nice journey to Europe. After getting back from Europe I was not sure where I would end up. I felt that I did NOT need a car right away and would wait til I found out where I would live for a bit.
Well after a bunch of jobs interviews as well as various tentative plans, I keeped delaying getting a car. It’s funny it took me almost a year to make this decison and now I have made up my mind. I am moving to Arizona and choose a Prius as my daily driver. I do plan to pickup a weeekend car, either cheap drifting car or something nice and fun like a used BMW M3.
Anyway, I pickuped my 2007 Toyota Prius with GPS Navigation/Backup Camera/Leather/etc, the package 6 option. I connected my iPhone, but was unable to transfer the phonebook due to the LOCKING of the bluetooth profile ($&#@ you very much APPLE, please unlock!). Then again, I guess I should focus on hacking the bluetooth profile on the iPhone and get it up and running!
After picking up my Prius I noticed the alignment is a bit off so I dropped it back off and should have it fixed by tomorrow, but I will be back on the east coast and have my friend pick it up for me. I guess it kinda pisses me off that no one noticed it, but the car is planning to sit there for the two weeks while I am in NJ/NY/CT. I know a couple of people will test drive it, but no worries.
So I am moving west and need to pack as well as visit with friends/family while I am still on the east coast.
I have a couple of issues with the Prius and will be posting a review of it after I have broken it in. I have only driven about 150 miles with it, just around the Phoneix area. Do you have a Prius, please comments your pro/cons/etc about them.
