Hi folks,
I should have said something earlier.
I started reading the forum a couple days before we made a final decision on the Prius. I had taken rides in a couple different friends Prii, but didn't know if my wife was interested. It was *kind of* time for a new car, but we could have put it off.
Anyhow, on a day of errands we went by the dealer after I said "Well, you have to at least sit in it to see if it will work out for you!" (She is small of stature, and visibility might have been an issue) But we ended up having her do a test drive, and she was knocked out!! We had already been acquainted with "Prius enthusiasm", having known both an owner of one of the original V1.0 in San Diego, plus a lady we work with who is over the top about her Salsa Red P.
Two days later we went back and put the deposit. And, amazing to us, a week later we had our incredible silver bullet.
It's been a month. It's been more fun than I imagined. And it has been one of the hands-down most enjoyable purchases of my adult life!
I'll have an occasional question, but I wanted to say hello, and mostly say thanks for the archives and live posts on this forum, which really set my mind at ease over spending a pretty large chunk on a pretty new technology.
And a civil bunch, to boot!
Cheers,
Envoy
