Hi gang...been away for a few days.

Lynn (president of Lynn's Harem) you got me on the "fluffy"....you're a quick one missy!

Jim, I did purchase this one. I've been leasing for years now because of my business...but...de cided with the technology in the new Mariner, I hopefully could get 5 good years out of it. In 5 years, I figure that hydrogen, or better electric source, or caged squirrels, or fluffers going at it...it's only going to get better.

Battery life...well, we have a 2002 Prius and have not had any major problems with the vehicle and none with the battery. When they checked the battery a few months ago for wear....they said it was as good as new. So....hopefully, things will be cool there. The cost of replacing one of those bad boys is nasty.

I also know the Toyota had their hybrid production cars on the road in Japan for 6 years before being sold in the US.

Anyway, time will tell.

OH yeah....the topskin looks sweet. It's snow white and looks like a "rolling Mogul" a name coined by Ron.

Best,
Gary
