I ran into Tony at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. This is an interview with Tony discussing What Drives Us. http://www.youtube.com/user/frugaltv?feature=chclk#p/u
when i click the link, i get frugal tv coupon clipping. is that tony? i thought it was related to priuschat.
That was kind of like the red carpet interviews before hollywood award shows. That's so cool that you actually got to meet him. You must have been so excited! You should have asked him to sing one of his Prius tunes while playing a guitar. You didn't ask him about the details of the next big What Drives Us episode though. What adventures are they going to embark on in Season Four? Are they going to try to drive across China in a Prius c on one tank of gasoline with no backup? Tony, how did the Monopoly game in the background of the video work?
It's true. It was a thrill for him to interview me. The Monopoly game was one big ride-along where a Product Specialist drove you around an enclosed track all the while talking about the vehicle you're in. Uneventful for those of us who have already ridden/driven all the vehicles. (the c was not available) I can't complain, though. I got $100 out of it.
He doesn't carry a wallet. All his money is in a white cotton bag that has a big $ on the side. It turns out that for someone with an enlarged head he's a very fast runner and tackles really hard.
