Ah, Prius Again

I just picked up the Toyota Prius to take to the office in, oh, about 6.5 hours. Driving it back to my apartment, I was quickly reminded of why I like this car so much. It's been a while since I drove it--yesterday I drove both a Mazda MPV minivan AND a Mazda Protegé sedan, and there's not much appeal to either of these vehicles.

I've stopped counting how many co-op cars I've used, but there's been at least 10 in the past few months, and the Prius is still my favourite. The deceleration in electricity mode is probably the main adjustment, after getting used to the gearshift lever that reminds me of the old slot machines in Vegas.
