You know, I can read google referrers. ;-)

Today I got a note from Toyota announcing that their Highlander Hybrid is now on sale and will be ready for delivery in June. That is the good news.

However, I did receive a completely nasty surprise to find out that the low end 4×4 Highlander will cost a whopping $34,430. Yup, you read that right. As compared to the base Highlander which cars.com is quoting me a starting MSRP of $25,680.

So, even figuring the $2,000 tax incentive that we’d have this year to purchase a hybrid car, we’re still talking a car that would cost me at least $32K, which is ridiculous - hybrid or not.

I am beyond consolation. Toyota screwed up on this one.

Just who is googling me? I can see you in my logs…. :-P

Update: They have been outed. That is all.

Just take a wild guess at a recent project of mine. Rubbing salt into the wounds is that even though I taught computer classes for over 5 years, I have nearly forgotten all of my Access and MSSQL knowledge. Oh, and I’m coming to the conclusion that Access 97 is just simpler.

OK, I give up…just who is the OS X lovin’ Comcast user near me who is reading my blog?
