Stories of a short, fat bastard.

My 86 year-old father, known to be a skeptic about new things, bought a Prius and so adores it that when a hit-and-run driver scratched the bumper, he ran to the dealer to have it repaired. }:xD

I was enamoured by the LCD status display. For some reason, he got an income tax deduction for buying it. Something about an "alternative energy source" vehicle. All I know is that it's virtually silent and very smooth running.
