So, I drive a 2005 Prius. I love him. Dearly. His name is Rory. However, like any deeply loving relationship, I find myself sniping at him. Kind of a lot

omg I'm dying reading this. I love your ornery car and I've never met or seen him. He sounds like my kinda guy.

Oh, dear. I am usually too busy yelling at other drivers to yell at my car. :)

Also, I know Rory! Remember when you parked outside the hotel in Washington? I bet you are now a master of the parallel park! :D

Sounds like me and my Volvo.

ALL THE LOVE.

So what you're saying is you are playing out an environmentally conscious Herbie the Love Bug sequel?

My Prius (Penelope) also beeps at me a lot. Although I don't have keyless start, so we've avoided that issue. Mostly the beeping doesn't bother me. Especially because it's usually me forgetting the key in the key home, and then trying to get out of the car. So I usually thank Penelope for reminding me.

The only time Penelope makes me absolutely crazy is when I have something heavy in the passenger seat that doesn't set off the beeps when I start the car, but instead waits until I can't possibly move the heavy thing and then Penelope decides, "Oh my gosh! There's an unbuckled person in the passenger seat! Alert! Alert! TIME TO PANIC!", and all my comments about how it's actually my school bag, so chill out, have no effect whatsoever on the manic beeping.

But other than that, it's all good.
