Prius meet - March 10, 2007

GAH! (...quote citation...Galaxee...)

Woudja believe I got lost...? (And, if you know me even a LITTLE--you COULD well have believed that, at least until I got the Garmin...)

Nope...not that one, but a whole other concatenation of events...adding up to migraine headache. It's tough to drive with one eye closed and the other only a slit, never mind the blackout curtains on all the windows AND the earplugs...

I am very sorry. I really did want to be there.

(And now, I get to wallow in my genetically inbred guilt...)

I'm sorry you weren't able to make it. I hope the migraines have gone now. It's far better to miss one meet, though, than drive with one eye and harm the Prius...

So we'll just have to have another one soon. :-)


For those who did make it, it was great meeting you and spending a couple of hours talking Prius. For those who didn't make it, I hope you can make the next one.

I have a group picture of all the cars that showed up (five) and their humans next to them -- what's the etiquette of posting such a picture? I thought it would be fun to post, but maybe not everyone wants their picture on-line. I also have a cars-only shot if that would be better.

About the future: would anyone be interested in a meet-and-hike event? It seems like a lot of Prius owners like the outdoors, so we could get together, check out each others' cars, then go on a short hike while talking Prius. It wouldn't have to be anything long or difficult, just a chance to enjoy some walking combined with the company of other Prius enthusiasts.

Sorry, I had to leave so soon, had to get the grandaughter to a meeting. Did any more show up after I left? Heck I typically have seen more prius at a stoplight than I saw at the meet.

No, there were just the five cars that showed up (unless someone else couldn't figure out which parking lot we were in).

Thank you. I think.

We have a Flickr account to document our outings. Here's the URL to the last meeting. If others want to add photos, I can tell them the secret password to get in.

Wow... that's a pretty low turnout. I might have shown up if I had known about it a month ago. : ( I don't monitor this area regularly.

I've meet to Nissan meets in the Seattle area, and a lot more than 5 cars show up to those but they span many different models.

I think the low turnout is due to the fact that wee pri owners have such hip and interesting lives that we have difficulty fitting in a pri-geek meeting. Oh, I guess that was kinda speaking for myself LOL.

I hope to make the next one. I'm 1 for 2 since taking the red pill...

Can we tell I've not been paying much attention lately? WeeRacer(s) is/are in VERY low gear lately. Maybe I need some of them red pills...

OK Kiddlywinks (Hi Cobra)...

Any potential new meets to come?
