Are you on the list?
No, I am not talking about the upcoming season of Heroes. Though I can't wait for that show to return to NBC in the fall.
On Saturday, I attended Green Fest in Elmhurst's Wilder Park. It was a small event with eco-friendly vendors displaying their products, tips and tricks. As we walked up the street, I noticed that Elmhurst Toyota had a few vehicles lined up on Prospect Avenue. One of the cars was a red Prius, the exact color I was looking for.
Back in an April blog, I mentioned that I had my eyes on a red Prius. After a brief discussion, I added my name to the waitlist for a new 2009 vehicle. The downside is that the waiting period is three to four months. The upside is that it could be as little as one month.
By Christmas 2008, I will increase my mileage from 13 to 14 miles per gallon, to 45. Consider my carbon footprint lowered again.

I think it is a really well designed vehicle not only for it's fuel economy but for road warriors. We can pack it full and still have room for our 100lb lab mix. It has been a great addition.
It is soooo worth the wait.
