    I am so new to being a Prius owner that I won't have my car until Monday. I just traded my Sienna in on a new Prius v. I've joined so I can learn to get the most out of my new vehicle. The size of the v was very important to me as I need room for spinning wheels and sometimes looms.

    I remember carding wool, I am allergic to lanolin now. My spinning was too lumpy. The looms were fun!
    My mother had 5 looms and 2 wheels, but was most known for natural dyes. (Mom had sheep, and made clothes, every step in house. "What is that horrible smell?" "Mom is into natural dyeing" " Is that like natural childbirth?")

    I have had my v about a month, coming from a 2009 Prius, I am liking it so far!

    The Sienna was not quite 2 years old. I love it but the price of gas has just become too much. This way I am reducing my fuel costs and also dropped my payments a bit.
