4 years, 10,000 posts

**efusco** · 10-22-2007, 06:39 AM

Yesterday, Oct. 21, marked the 4 year anniversary of getting my Prius.
Pic of me the day I took delivery...

I've now gone 67,000 miles in my Prius and my lifetime MPG is about 55mpg.
But I had no idea the day I took delivery how involved in the entire Prius movement I was to become. This post is #10,000 for me here at Priuschat. There are at least another 3-4000 posts of mine scattered in other prius and hybrid and related forums as well. I still look forward with as much eagerness to drive my car and participate in this forum today as I did 4 years and 10k posts ago.

This has been and continues to be a great community of interesting people. While I get thanks and gratitude for my help quite often here I can assure you that it's all been repaid to me in spades.
Thanks all, looking forward to another 4 years or so with the Prius...probably be a while before I hit another 10k posts though!

Hey you shouldn't let that guy sit on your hood, it might dent it!

Seriously congrats and you picked a great color.

Funny looking hood ornament. Mine didn't come with one. Should I check with the dealer?

Naaah. He just took it too seriously when some SUV owner told him to take his hybrid and shove it up his @$$.
