Central Florida Prius Club

hackIT · 06-23-2008, 04:49 PM

I'm seeing more and more Prii around the Central Florida/Orlando area. Anyone interested in meeting up as a group? I've never really been in a car club, but there seems to be so much enthusiasm about these cars... it might be fun to get together and share experiences, show off various modifications, lie about our mpg's, etc...

I live near Clermont, but would be willing to travel if the majority would prefer to meet elsewhere.

Thanks,

~Tom

I'm in Orlando but would drive a bit

Excellent! I know a lot of car enthusiasts will meet-up at a Steak-N-Shake or an A&W... we've got both here in Clermont, and I know there are several in the Central Florida area. It would be kind of cool to have all of us roll into one of those one evening.

Any other interest in getting a group together?

We live in Gainesville but would be happy to drive to Orlando to meet up with other Prius owners.

We're getting some interest... it would be cool if we could pick a time and place (maybe like I suggested earlier... an A&W or Steak-N-Shake, where they are used to having car clubs roll in) and just see who can make it.

Whenever I see another Prius owner, I typically will stop and talk to them. I have yet to meet one that isn't really into their car. If we can let enough people know that there are like-minded enthusiasts in the Central Florida area, I bet we could get a pretty good group together. It doesn't have to be anything formal... just fun!

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

~Tom

A meet would be cool. Talking with others, sharing experiences and info will be great.

Definitely! On my way home from work today, there were 3 of us driving in a group up the turnpike. It was so cool!

On a side note, I installed my BT Tech Chassis Stiffening Plate this evening. I'm curious to see, first-hand, the mods that other Prius owners have made.

Put some thought into where & when... even if it just starts with a couple of us, I have a feeling the interest will continue to grow.

I'm in.
I should have mine 8/23/08
This could grow into road trips and poker runs like bike clubs

Awesome!! I'm seeing more and more of us out there on my commute into Orlando. Even if we start with just a couple of us, I bet we could have some fun with this!!
