i'm still coordinating the pick up schedule for carpoolers + secret guest to go to 6 parties between silicon valley + san francisco tonight, + greet the east coast gm carpoolers in palo alto + pick up sv mom swag bags to bring.

luckily, i'm doing it all in a fabulous 2008 hybrid malibu 4-door luxury sedan with huge trunk, 100 satellite radio channels, "on star" human voice navigation! it's much more comfortable than the prius, which we also love, but is not as luxurious + spacious + has an exposed hatchback. i mean in the prius, you hardly have any room to carry anything + it's all visible through a hatch back window + heats up like a green house. whereas, in the malibu, we're bringing suitcases + lots of swag bags.

sunny + wendy:
i don't get to keep the car, boohoo.
it's going to turn into a pumpkin. but i did cover it with big orange flower decals. i want to take it to a paloaltogreen.com concerts in the park event tuesday night. palo alto is a leader in environmentally friendly products + the organizers are very interested in seeing the hybrid malibu in person + supporting gm in their eco-friendly transition.

Hey Kristen I want to see the Malibu with decals - I hope you post one! Also don't forget to send me the info on that Palo Alto event so I can pass it on today! Hope you all enjoy the ride home. - Robyn @GM

I did not know Chevy made a hybrid. It looks very nice. Lucky you!
