I want to officially introduce my new car I have officially dubbed her Harley Quinn because her exterior is a nice red and interior is black. As you probably forgot, my original Prius C was Vixen to match a lesser know DC Superhero. I know Harley is a villain and DC is trying real hard to make her their version of Deadpool but I have enjoyed the animated version DC introduced way back in 1992. I’m not a fan of the sexualized Suicide Squad and video game iteration DC is producing. Thankfully I didn’t have any difficulty finding a new action figure of the one I love to be this car’s totem hidden in the glove box.
Front view, looks like most sedans
This car handles and travels even better according to Somara. She said the ride was not as smooth feeling. I can never tell when I’m behind the wheel. Harley’s features have come into play a few times. The lane deviation alarm always goes off during my daily commute thanks to a bumpy railroad crossing on Howard Lane, cop car pushing through traffic made the front sensors go nuts and when some asshole jumped in front of me on FM 1825 (Pflugerville’s main drag), the instrument cluster had “BRAKE” with a red background show up in place of odometer, etc.
The Prius’ rear end isn’t as high up as the previous models.
As much as I missing having a hatchback, this Prius stores as much in the back but she has a cover I can pull over the back to hide my stuff. Compensates for it being longer by about a foot, I think. Another feature future passengers will love, there are two USB ports in the front armrest for the rear passengers to recharge their devices in. They’re the good kind, the standard USB-A which still has mileage remaining despite the push for C.
Something to help me find her in a crowded parking lot.
Harley winning Somara over in the carpooling department hasn’t happened beyond non-work trips. That’s mainly due to her Honda Fit’s AC failing. I mean, it only works when the car is in motion and given Austin traffic when she travels…count on beaucoup idling as every other idiot is also commuting in their guzzlers, namely pickup trucks containing only a driver, brandishing an ignorant right-wing slogan bumpersticker. I’m going to keep pressing, especially in light of this vehicle hasn’t used up her inaugural first tank of gas the dealership always gives you.
This sticker tells other people, this is Maggi’s car.
Onward to paying her off faster than Bugs or Vixen. Toyota gave me 1.9% for being a returning customer, the $9500 down from GEICO knocked out a big chunk alongside the transfer of Vixen’s remaining plan helped. Therefore, Harley is the second-most expensive car I have had to pay off. I think how much she cost in total might be close to Vixen though if you factor in inflation. I do know my monthly payment is significantly lower with six years of inflation factored in; definitely after 23 when I bought the worst VW on earth.
Anyone in the Austin area, let me know if you want a (reasonable) ride. I owe my in-laws in Georgetown at least one.
