Well, so far the Prius gas mileage isn’t looking that spectacular compared to my boring old Honda Civic Hybrid, but this weekend I remembered one of the other big reasons I wanted to buy the new car. I went to Costco and bought three 6′ wire racks and I didn’t know if they’d all fit in the back of the car. I figured that if I couldn’t fit the third one in, I’d just return it. But they all went in, as well as some plastic storage bins, and I was pretty happy. And since that fit, I got out the tape measure and checked to see if I could fit a 10′ antenna mast and it fit as well. Hooray! My old Honda Civic Hybrid had fixed rear seats and they couldn’t be folded down so I’m pretty happy about all of this.

Now if I only had some cable, I could hook up my ham radio antenna.
