Wow! It's really bright white! Nice!

Just noticed you guys have different badges on the back of your cars. On mine it says 'Toyota' on the left, the 'Toyota-logo' in the middle and 'Prius' on the right, my 'HSD-logo' is placed under the 'Prius' nametag on the right... Defcon's car (a few pages back, it's the blue one from Scotland) has got the same badges as my car.

Apperently Europeans aren't capable of recognizing a Prius when they don't put the name on the back!

BTW, the mirrors on my Prius are great, the are very big and they don't have any blind spots...

A few more photos --- another coat of Zaino yesterday. (It's so difficult to capture the depth and pearl effect of the paint in photos.) I know I'm photo-whoring, but, oh well.

Beautiful... I'm a big fan of Zaino myself, and if I had a Prius, would also get the Blizzard Pearl. In other words, I was wondering what the paint + Zaino would look like. Again, great job.

Quick question, however: Why does your license plate say "Ennui"? Did you know that it meant "Boredom" in French? (I ask because I wonder how on earth anyone could be bored with a Prius! )

Boji,

There's an important distinction here. Boredom means you have nothing to do (which to me implies a lack of intelligence -- if you're smart, you can keep yourself entertained ). Ennui is more closely defined as "world-weariness", that you've done it all and there's nothing left. The plates were originally on my Phaeton and thought they would still apply here (although I was considering "Pious", but was worried about the possible consequences).

Thanks for the reply Chrisj,

That makes sense! C'est définitivement original! (It's definitely original!)

Here's a few more of Graylord. He's been pinstriped and washed, Zaino'd, washed, waxed (S100 motorcycle carnauba wax), washed again, Zaino'd with Z-6.

D'accord! Many years ago, I had "CHOUETTE" as a plate. Unfortunately, at the time in Ohio, you were only allowed six characters. So, I shortened it to "CHOUET". People thought I was referring to cabbage.

Wow, great job. Really really glossy!
