At least it didn’t fall off at sea

A little bird told me that a ship docked today in New York carrying a special present just for me — my new car, to replace the one that was sold out from under me a week or so ago.
I wish I could track it, much like an overnight package. Unfortunately, that would border on obsession and I’d be going nuts wanting to know why it wasn’t here yet. OK, so, in theory, it’s in New York. Well, shouldn’t it be here tomorrow? Dammit. I hate waiting.

Update: the 2004 Prius has been awarded Motor Trend’s Car of the Year. And all those big U.S. car companies insisted that hybrids were underpowered, too expensive, and would never become popular.
