Learning to love the 2010 Prius
Well, I start my internship at Parc in less than 12 hours. My legs are horribly sore from the Shinteki Decathlon on Saturday, which was roughly a 12 hour puzzle event. My team, Tvelve Metchsteek, did very well for its first time – we finished all the required puzzles and all but one of the bonus puzzles. A major feature of this event was the traveling one had to do in order to receive or find the next puzzle. One of those traveling bits involved climbing a rather steep hill, for which my thighs are punishing me right now, i.e. I have the mobility of a arthritic cripple.
Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to convince myself that come September or October, the new Prius, and not the oh-so-sleek Honda Civic hybrid is the car of my dreams, but its half-hatchback half-sedan design bothers me and I’m not sure why. I think it’s best that I stare at its specs and the promise of a super fuel efficient car… and remind myself that I will be able to pull an Andy Bernard and sneak up on someone in EV mode. If I die in a car crash, it will be due to the attention paid the monitor showing how efficiently the car’s running at that moment with its nifty little animations.
As for the Accord, which has served my familiy so faithfully since 2000… it goes to my little sister, who, I’m proud to say, will need it so she can continue experimenting on children (har har, just kidding, I believe the politically correct description is “Child Development Sciences”).
