My Friends Joel and George Dawson Bought A New Toyota Plug-In Hybrid Car








George writes - 

Picture 1: Saturday, September 25, after 6.5 months wait we got delivery of our brand new Toyota Rav4 Prime which is a plug-in hybrid.  Doesn’t it look great?

Picture 2 & 3: Then on Tuesday, September 28, Joel turned in front of a fast moving car and this is the result.  She turned left from Monroe to Brevard and the white SUV in the background whammed into her. That car pushed her into the gray one stopped at the light. All the air bags worked and Joel’s body didn’t hit anything. Picture 4: She felt fine - you can see her standing by the car. She is showing the friction burn from the seat belt. She was very lucky to be in this car since it protected her so well. She was also lucky not to get a ticket.  Picture 5: The next morning she went to Urgent Care just to make sure there weren’t any undectected injuries.  You can see the x-ray shows no broken bones. You can get a good look at the internal makeup of her pacemaker. 

Now what? The car will probably be totaled. Our insurance should cover replacement of the car with our paying $500 deductible. We will probably order another RAV4 Prime soon. We should have plenty of time to decide if that is really what we want to do, since it will probably take a while.
