If you're not going to be there, you will have to look at the pictures to know for sure.

So what happened? Between church and taking my son to a b'day party, I wasn't able to swing by Chipotle's until about 2:00 and I didn't see ANY Prii in the parking lot It was packed though, with a beautiful day so everybody was out shopping or driving around. Saw a few Mini Coopers and Nissan Versa, Honda Fit, even saw a Lamborghini roll by, but no Prii at all. With the nice weather and a longer trip, I'm finally above 50 mpg again.

Tony,

Want to thank you for organizing the March 25th meet! It was a great time. I really enjoyed talking to the members and learning a lot of things I wasn't aware of.

It was a great day. Weather was perfect, conservation was great, and it was pretty cool seeing all those Priui lined up (plus the Camry hybrid - hi Mike).

Wife worked last night and started fading so we left early, but again I want to thank Tony and all who came and made it a great get-together.

Nerfer, sorry you missed it. I left about 1:00.

I think the official count was 9 Gen II Prius, 1 Classic Prius, 1 Camry Hybrid, 1 Gen I Civic Hybrid and one non-hybrid. Some of the Prius were brand new. Great to swap some tips, info and to show my new toy the ......................(come out and see Mike). Can't wait for the pic's. Some talk of alternate meeting places and the next meet in May. After lunch off to the nearby Forest Preserve for more pictures. And I had the best tank MPG there . But no one wanted a engine block heater installed .

Wayne

Really? I'm not completely sure what time we left the parking lot but it had to have been very close to 2:00. I'm sorry you missed it, Nerf.

I have seriously been swamped at work, spilling into the "at home" hours. So the meeting follow-up email I wanted to send out hasn't happened yet nor have I posted the pictures or added everyone's marker to the MemberMap on the CPG website.

Wayne, if you have about an hour, would you mind pulling the memberlist off the website (in the "Who We Are" folder) and typing up a meeting highlights email for everyone? I've updated the list with our latest friends from Sunday.

Also, everyone, if you haven't yet, go to the website and check out the MemberMap (link in my sig). I'm still working on it. While I was trying to get it to work I added about a half dozen markers. Three in Arlington Heights, guys! If you want me to place a marker more specifically for your location, click the "Contact Us" link and that will shoot me an email. Give me as detailed information as you want. I will never attribute a member's name with a marker.
