America Your Prius is Ready?!

America , your Prius is ready! I didn’t understand the billboard when I saw it, but when I took my own ’05 Prius nicknamed Black Beauty into the dealership for it’s check up, I saw them and at once I understood. There they sat, glistening in the afternoon sun, their green beauty radiating a modern hippie happiness. There were eight of them in a row, standing in salute to the possibility of a greener future. The first one was tricked out; black with black tinted windows, 36 inch rims, black leather and subwoofers…all the features a pimp would want. But there it sat. Waiting, waiting for an owner…all 8 of them waiting. The Prius was ready for America , but was America ready for the Prius?
At only $23,070 MSRP every one of us can be a proud Prius owner. 55 city mpg with 60 hwy mpg sounds pretty good when the average gallon of gas is $3.15, but what about more then just monetary compensation? What about the promise of a greener future? I do have my friends who say, “Chilean Seabass is almost extinct?!? Well, I better get it while I can.” Or “If the oil is gone then our scientist will think of a way for us to get along without it.” But the fact is plain and simple, if our earth is stripped, what are we left with? Nothing. We’re left living on an eggshell which can shatter into a million pieces and become space dust. But I’m not here to ‘egg’strapolate on all the death and destruction from allowing global warming to happen. I’m just here to say; when the Toyota Camry XLE is $25,000 MSRP and the Toyota Camry Hybrid is $25,200 MSRP…call the president he might loan you $200 bucks in his quest to save the planet.
