Road to success becomes a family affair

It was the trip to Montana, Tony Jobanek says, that finally killed his Toyota Prius.

Tony and his wife, Andrea, calculated they had driven 57,000 miles to watch their daughter Caitlyn play soccer for Western Washington. They attended all 91 of Caitlyn’s college games, traveling as a far as Augusta, Ga., and Pensacola, Fla., to watch her compete.

Driving the 6 1/2 hours from Springfield to Bellingham, where the Division II Vikings play their home games, wasn’t so bad. It was the road trip to Montana State Billings that finally caused the Toyota to give out, though at least they’d been getting good gas mileage.
