Two big announcements.... (Seriously big. Like a ton a piece.)

The last time I told you about my Blue Baby, she was a crack-up at 7 years old.  Now, at 9 1/2, she's really getting up there.  Like most ladies, she's pretty good at hiding her true age, but the 172,641 miles are starting to show.  It is with much sadness that I announce the retirement of Blue Breeze Prius.  Girl, we have had some good times!

I would like to introduce you to CiCi- the little sister Prius.  Isn't she cute?  Like all younger siblings following in the footsteps of a practically perfect predecessor, she comes in with something to prove.  She demands to be measured by her own merits, which are noticeable and unique. And though they share a heritage and a name, they have different strengths and a completely different view of the world.  Her attractive attributes include phone syncing, HD radio, a moonroof, and (finally!) an audio input.  Plus she is willing to up the ante on her sister's forte, promising 53 mpg city.  I consider that a challenge to be tested in as many cities as possible.

So, CiCi, I hope you are up for adventures!  I'm sure we'll have many happy miles together. ;-)
