hey i just recently bought a metallic grey prius with package 3. i live in the city. i join the group to see what kind of crazy mod's people do to their prius's and maybe to do to mine. i recently bought an Super Slim HID conversion kit off of ebay and i dont know how to install them and the guy i bought it off of wont tell me how to install them. so if anyone knows how to install them or owns a shop that installs them email me. if you have a video or pics of how to do it that would be even better. Thank You so much, looking forward to see some crazy stuff on this site

I live in Novato and just bought Prius #2. 2009 Touring with Package 6. I'm considering another one.

Hi SF Bay group,

I'm Mike and my family and I live in Mill Valley. I've ordered a 2010 Prius w/ SF Toyota and I am very excited. I wondering about leasing options, because I might want to upgrade to a slightly larger (for carrying multiple kids) hybrid in 2-3 years. Any thoughts?

I just test drove an Insight in San Rafael. Really liked it. If Prius did not exist I'd buy it in a second. Looking forward to test-driving the Gen3 and to learn the pricing.

Hi, I've got at 2007 Prius that will need new tires soon. Toyota Walnut Creek guy suggested Dunlop Signatures which they have on sale at at good price. He also said that you need tires that can handle the extra weight of the Prius because of the batteries. He said that the Michelin Primacy MXB would be better than the Michelin X available at Costco. Does this make sense to any of you? What would be the best tire to use in the bay area? What is the best place to get tires? Terry

Hi - I'm new to this forum... own a 2004 Prius that I love! Anyone know of any independent service centers in the Monterey Peninsula area? Thanks.

Hi y'all -- Just bought a "certified pre-owned" 2005 from SF Toyota on Geary, on Saturday. So far so good!

I picked up my 10V AT and it was love at first sight. I need some information/practice with the AT package, guess that will come with time. Hozz

Hi, my partner and I live in Oakland and we just bought a 2010 Prius, Package 4 w/Nav in Winter Grey and Misty Grey interior. It's our first Hybrid and we love it.

I just bought my first Prius, a 2003. I am discovering that several options were turned off and I am slowly configuring it to the way I'd like it to work. I would greatly appreciate tips. For example, someone told me to track my mileage for each tank of gas because the fuel gage isn't very accurate. What else do I need to know?
