New "Buckeye" Prius Owner

dublindub · 03-02-2008, 04:41 PM

Hello All!

Just parked our new '08 white Prius package #6 (not touring) in the garage! Went looking this morning, came home with it this afternoon. I am really impressed by the ride, quiet and comfortable, but with plenty of power when needed. Loved all the new technology in the cockpit, I've been driving a '93 V6 Toyota pickup for 14 years (avg 17 MPG!), so you can imagine the "Tech Shock" factor! Of course, the gas savings will be a plus, too!

Buckeye. I grew up in north central Ohio but have been out here for forty years now.

Welcome. We used to live in old Worthington, so not too far from you. We also did a couple of stints in the Cleveland area: Mentor and Mentor on the Lake.

Welcome to the Super White Prius connected-with-Ohio Club. I went to high school in Barnesville, and my daughter is in grad school at OSU. Will be coming through this summer.

The more you drive the Prius the more you will like it. The tech factor is impressive and with all the different additions that can be done, it is an amazing vehicle.

Go Bucks
