    Woohoo ! Life is Good :)

    Things are coming together...

    After 2 kids (5 and 3) and moving to Quebec and our first house and a basement flood and a back injury and the computer SW contractor lifestyles of highs and lows in income and miscellaneous other mishaps, and 5hi! I think it's finally coming back together again.

    Good salaried job w/ successful company last 8 months, complete sale of my 94 Stealth Turbo AWD/AWS tomorrow morning at 9:00, get my teeth cleaned by a very nice dental hygenist at 11:20, pickup my new 2008 Black Prius at 1:00, drive it home about 2:00, play with it for at least an hour, try to nap from all the excitement until it's time to take the family out in the new car..... :) :)

    Things have a way of coming around for those who have had misfortune. I have full faith in that.

    Thanks!

    Sold my old car and picked up my new Prius today with 6 km. The 18 km drive home got me 6.4L / 100 km or about 36 MPG ? (twice my old car) Driving in City up to 70-80 kmh, probably with stock tire pressure.

    I think I'm going to be driving slower and calmer now, for mileage, new car protection especially while I learn it, and also for peace of mind.


    Ommmmmmmm.... :)
