Today, for the third time in a month, I used one of the College's new Prius cars to go to a meeting in the cities.
It's old news by now, but my god those cars are cool. I simply cannot get over the sensation of the future getting a bit more evenly distributed when I walk up to the door and the car unlocks itself merely by sensing the presence of the "key" in my pocket. Hitting the "Power" button to turn the car on - with the "key" still in my pocket? Also very cool. And of course there's the best feature of all - the display that shows how the electric motor and gas engine are cooperating, and the MPG readout that's consistently north of 50.
