Happy One Year Betty!
Who, may you be asking is Betty? That is our Prius which just recently turned one year old. Andy thinks in a year we’ve put too many miles on it–about 15,000 to be exact. But his parents live in St. Cloud Minnesota, about a 6 hour trip from here and my sister lives in Chicago, a three hour trip. These trips add up.
I still love our Prius. Granted after we bought it, the price of gas started to go down a bit, but we are still saving money. Andy even read an article that the Prius Touring 09 made the top car list for value over 5 years. It really makes me wonder how much money we really have saved.
I wonder how many Lamborginis, Lexus or even Ferrari parts are doing these days. I don’t really see these are cars people would buy with the economy the way it is. But then again, I don’t have money, so what do I know.
Happy B-day Betty! Hope to get more years out of you! And can’t wait till it gets warm again to get 50 miles to the gallon!

I’ve had my Yaris for a little over a year and it already has about 48,000 miles on it…you’re doing fine.
