New car

Hi everyone,
I think I told you (but not sure, my brain still is not functioning very well) that I was going to sell all our vehicles/etc. and get a hybrid car since I will be running back and forth to Houston a lot in the coming years. I decided I wanted a Prius V Wagon (five series). It is bigger than the Prius car and has a lot more interior cargo space. I went to look at them and decided on the options I wanted. Here is a website that should show some pics of the car. http://www.toyota.com/priusv/photo-gallery.html

I also decided I wanted a red one and discovered they are really hard to find. I didn't know it but you can search new car inventory online now, so I had been doing that only to discover there were very few red ones in Texas. I knew that the dealership could get it from anywhere, but I kinda wanted to actually see a red one in person before buying it.

I was looking online last Thursday evening when a red one popped up at a dealership only 5 minutes from where Brooke and Bryan live. So I called them and they went over to look at it. They both really liked it too, so I put a deposit on it and drove down to Houston on Friday. I really liked it too, so I just bought it. We drove it 100 miles in Houston and then I drove it 200 miles home and I got 45.5 mpg, so I am a happy camper.
