Almost. Couple days. :) But it'll be really good to get out when I want to get out again :)

So which one did you buy? The Lighter silver one of the Darker Pewter one? ;)

It looks nice, I wish you lots of happy miles in it.

Looks great man. How's the interior room?

I've been jonesing for a new Toyota since that dope destroyed my Lexus last year. I'm thinking of either the Camry or the Venza (which I find really sexy but many people don't like).

It's quite roomy inside. Things got 2 smuggling bays in the back, tons of little storage spots. It's not a sportscar, so doesn't have the umph, but it accelerates decently. So far, I'm averaging about 58mpg.

I looked at the Camry, but it didn't have the mpg I was looking for. Venza looks cool though.

My wife's eyeing an 08 Highlander. Rode nice, had lots of toys, was only getting about 15-17mpg though.

{Ponders if he can still talk to Bob now he's bought a Prius! Decides that, as long as he takes the wet, his petrol-head credentials will remain undamaged :)}

So, Battery Bob the Planet Killer, how's it feel to own what is officially designated as toxic waste? :lol: :p

Should've bought one of these:

Whaaaaaaa! I want one of these! Planet be damned, I don't need to eat, ( or have electricity, or go to school) I'll just buy gasoline. I want a green jump suit too.

Not a bad choice there, Bob :).

One observation about the advert - if you need to by a Lambo on tick (hire purchase) you really shouldn't be owning a Lambo!

Back in my network marketing days, they said to put pics of your goals out. For a long time, I had pics of a Prius out. I got one. Used to have Lamb. pics out too. Never thought I'd actually get the Prius....but despite the ah, somewhat larger sale price, I feel that sometime in the next 10 years, I might be getting that Lamb. too. :)

I think Texas can handle the smug. I just have to add a gun rack and I'll be fine. :D

So far so good. Comfortable ride, nice toys, good gas milage. So far I've put about 1,000 miles on it, can't complain yet.
