    After living in Los Angeles and paying $4.79 for gas in a 2003 Ford Explorer, I vowed my next car would be a hybrid. I drove a rental Prius and fell in love! My girlfriend has a Challenger so we needed something fuel efficient. I am happy to say that I am now an owner of a black 2014 Toyota Prius Three! pictures to come soon.

    I will be browsing the forum often!

    Yeah, isn't that odd? When we were at the dealer the guy kept asking me about MY Challenger; how it rides, how nice it is, etc. I just played along.

    That's great! Congrats! I did the same thing, rented a Prius for the weekend & 2 days later bought one. Do not know why more people do not drive them. $25 for a tank of gas is nice.

    2003 explorer to 2014 Prius is akin to going from a car made out of logs to a spaceship. Excellent move up.
    Now begin kicking your self for waiting so long lol.
