You have been driving your Prius too much

i get the contact calls when i shut the door lol.

And when you borrow a friends truck to move furniture and you are sitting at a stop light trying to figure out what’s wrong because the engine will not stop running.

 

Had to use a 2007 Chevy Monty Carlo as a rental this weekend. (Note, this is one of Hertz's "green" cars. I was hopeing for a Prius.) A couple of surprises.
1) I "always" forget to hold the key till the car starts. I want to start it like the 2001 Prius. However, the car continued to have the starter run till the engine came on with only a twitch of the key.
2) If you think a 2004 or later Prius has poor rear visibility, the Monte Carlo has less if you turn your head to check you blind spot.
3) NO MPG Gauge. I'm sorry, but a car can never be declared green unless it reports fuel efficiency accurately.
4) Sporty rental cars (Monty Carlo, Mustang, etc.) seem more like highway attack vehicles than highway transportation.

 

You drive your Sienna for the first time since you gave it to your kids after buying the Prius, and the Sienna front seating area seems small :huh:
