New To Sfbay Group? Say Hello Here!

[maze]

Hi folks,
I've been registered here at Prius Chat for ages now (year+), but I finally moved to the States (from Europe) and bought my dream car. Now the proud owner of a 3-week Barcelona Red Prius '06 (light interior), with everything except leather and nav (I'm starting to regret the lack of leather a bit, but this one had only a 2 week wait time, and that was far more important - not having a car and all...).
I'm through 650 miles now, with an average of only 44.5 mpg, I expect the reason being the large number of very short trips (mostly 4 mile drives to work and back).

Just bought my used '04 Prius with HOV stickers. No wait for me to get in the carpool. I was already getting 45mpg, access to the carpool lane and no smog requirments in my BMW, but a car is much safer than a motorcycle. I commute 85 from South San Jose to Palo Alto. SUVs really hate it when I sit in the carpool lane with cruise control set to 72mph.

I am getting my Prius in about a month and a half. It will either be blue or red depending on what comes in with the #8 package. I can hardly wait. The wife drove one and raved about it. I'm gonna test drive one this weekend.

Well, I actually got my Prius about a month ago. Nice red one with the package 7. Everything but leather.

hey there
I have a strange question, that I am sure you not used to getting. I am a Casting Director in San Francisco looking for Prius drivers , or soon to be Prius drivers that love their cars and are concerned about our global environment.We are looking for all ages/ all people/all walks of life.

We are shooting a short film about the Prius and environmental concerns in the bay area and was wondering if you are this person, or if you know of someone that is.
We have a great crew that will be sure to make this film outstanding, something that you would be very proud of, I promise.

There would be an audition next tues. 10/31, and if chosen would shoot one day the week of Nov. 6.

Please email if you know someone or have any ideas of where ishould go.

Is there a way to email SF members? What steps would I have to go through?

Thank you so much for your time

Greetings All,

Bought my Silver'07 w/ a package 5 last weekend. Just about through my first tank at about 45 mpg. Loving every mile! Having difficulty getting a straight answer from my dealer on availability of XM Radio. And my bluethooth phone is refusing to talk to the Prius.

Will check the forums.

Cheers,

Charlie

Hi,
We are here in Vacaville, got our Prius on 8.6.06 from SF Toyota. We "settled" on a silver #6 as our leased truck was due in Boise ID. the following weekend. Fantastic car. Averaging over 50mpg, best is 53+. Commuting from here to Martinez - 75 miles round trip.

I've ben trying to get the extended warranty from "Danny" since early (?) October. I'm not getting any response from him. Anyone else had problems or can anyone recommend another discount dealer? Any info would be appreciated.

Hi there,

I'm Adam... in San Francisco, and I just my first new car ever (my previous ones had been a hand-me-down and a used one).

My Frankie is a 2007 Prius with package #5, in Silver Pine Mica (okay, basically tastefully light green)... my first choice! Of equal coolness, I got her for more than $2,000 under MSRP ($25.8K).

Ah, Lisa! I'm discovering more and more people I know have Prii! Oh, and I'm actually seeing the Frankie my car is named after... just next week (SONW). Hope he's honored :-)

Hi Adam,
Sounds like you got a deal on the car, great.

I was able to get the Platinum extended warranty from "Danny" at half what my local dealer was quoting. From the other owners I've been talking to, you may want to do the same. Insurance on new technology.

Enjoy the car.
Dennis
