Jealous?

Maybe your next car will be a Prius.

Actually, we have gone all green over here (where green equals saving mucho gas). I have a Prius and my husband has a Subaru Outback (because he tows a boat on occasion) but we also have Vespas which get 72 mpg (and look really cool):


His is black and he drives it to work in the city. Mine is baby blue and I drive it at the beach (and I don't pay for parking). He has an electric scooter that he uses at the beach which can go 25 miles on a charge and which costs about 1 cent per mile to run (considering electric recharge).


It cracks me up because it looks all hot-roddy and he is old. Ha. He will read this and be offended so what I meant to say was that he looks like Steve McQueen on that thing (and he does, actually). Meanwhile, he will laugh all the way to the bank on a vehicle that cost less than $1,000, getting infinite miles per gallon...

I am so sorry. My wife is just so much of a gas guzzler with her Prius... I don't burn any, any crude as I blast around on my electric bike. Please forgive her...

Hey.....what about your daughter's low emission Honda Fit?

I bet she gets like 35 MPG!

I have an Aprilia Mojito scooter that I drive around town weather permitting. SO much to love about 60-some miles to the gallon and parking on the sidewalk!

I'm feeling ya! I haven't heard of it - it's cute - retro and cool at the same time.

And I love the name (now I'm thirsty...).
