Okay, this is going to be boring. As many of you know, and even more of you don't care, despite my fascination with Prius and Prius Chat, I currently don't own a Prius. Well last night I dreamt I had bought a Prius.....and a truck. Which I find strange that I would even dream about buying a new vehicle, let alone a dream that I had bought 2 new vehicles. But in my dream I was driving my truck, and off to the side was parked my Prius. Now in "real life" I like the idea of having an efficient, comfortable vehicle for A-B transportation and the majority of automotive needs. I also like the idea of owning a truck, for weekends and utility projects. So dreaming that I owned both....not so strange. BUT..... The weird thing was in this dream, I was talking to a passenger and my feelings and conversation in the dream was about how much I enjoyed driving the Truck More than My Prius. Now why would my subconscious go to the trouble of making me dream that? Since I currently own neither? But that was basically the whole boring dream. I had a Prius (It was a Black Gen 2) --which is kinda strange too, as I think I would buy a Gen 3, and I was riding in a full sized pick-up. What is my subconscious telling me here? Too much time on Prius Chat? Time to make an automotive change? Maybe I shouldn't eat a Hot Pocket before bed? I almost feel like I "cheated" on Prius. Or at least the concept of Prius. I need some type of purging activity to atone for my subconscious sins. Maybe I should spend 20 minutes watching the original "Game Of Life" Prius c commercials? No...strike that....I'd probably dream the next night that I was driving a Hummer. No need to create nightmares.
Ok here you go. The Prius represents your new skinny girl friend. The truck represents your mother who did the work for you. You like the new girlfriend because she is new and swave but you still think about your Mom helping you because times are tough.
LOL! Step away from the computer and do NOT watch any bad Prius commercials - they are definitely a buzz kill! My life is a Prius and an F-250 super duty turbo diesel in the driveway... each vehicle has a purpose and each crosses over into the other's area... the Prius has hauled 400 lbs. of grain and I have attempted pulse and glide in the truck... such is my life riding both sides of the fence. Went hiking with my friend today and we took the Prius on dirt roads to get to the trail parking lot... while I was doubtful he said, "Your Prius can handle this." He drove it yesterday as I had performance anxiety backing out of a tightly parked driveway and he loved the back up camera. While the gallery assembled on the porch watching me were disappointed to watch me relinquish the helm for a moment, sometimes a lady likes to be taken care of. Yeah and I am back in the game with 63.2 MPG today with a new high for the year... and things are only going to get better.
Oh, and my poor car needs a good washing - he laughed and told me "I have never seen your Prius that dirty before..." Normally she's shiny and sparkling but has road spray on her sides that has dried to a mottled spray pattern ... after work today I am so getting the hose out. Some things don't change!
I have a truck, a 1997 Toyota Tacoma 4X4. I've had it since March 1999, making it the longest owned vehicle I've ever had. Still not a truck person, prefer a car.
