02 Apr 2004 Ah, Prius Again
Author: Gail |  Category: [unfiled]  | Leave a Comment

I just picked up the Toyota Prius to take to the office in, oh, about 6.5 hours. Driving it back to my apartment, I was quickly reminded of why I like this car so much. It’s been a while since I drove it–yesterday I drove both a Mazda MPV minivan AND a Mazda ProtegÈ sedan, and there’s not much appeal to either of these vehicles.

I’ve stopped counting how many co-op cars I’ve used, but there’s been at least 10 in the past few months, and the Prius is still my favourite. The deceleration in electricity mode is probably the main adjustment, after getting used to the gearshift lever that reminds me of the old slot machines in Vegas.

The Orkut saga continues. Most of the Vancouver community members who post regularly are also in jail. Somebody in Orkut must REALLY hate Vancouver.

Finally! Did I take pictures inside the Orkut Detention Centre? Yeah, but they ripped the film out…

In other news, I did check out the festivities at Heritage Hall — sorry, muckdog, I didn’t get any shots of the Tropicana (Vegas show-)girls. Next time. They kinda looked like this, but their outfits were skimpier.

Will write more about it tomorrow… ummm, later today, I guess that would be.
