Greetings from Charlotte, NC

Hi all. I bought my 08 Magnetic Gray Prius in October of last year (15 days too late to get the tax credit - d'oh!). I've been lurking on these forums since then and finally decided to post. If there are any other Prius owners in the area, please say hello!

Yeah, I was way bummed when I found out that the tax credit had expired - but welcome to PC! I'm from over in Boiling Springs (NC). I lived in Charlotte for 7 years - don't miss the traffic! I got my white touring 3 days before Christmas - found it in Hendersonville. I was so chapped with the zero tax credit that I wrote Elizabeth Dole, Richard Burr & Patrick McHenry. I actually got a response from Dole & Burr! (see my post titled "What Tax Break!") Glad to have you on board.

Hello from Thomasville, NC. Had my Prius since Jan '08. Loving the mileage.

Hello from Troy, NC. I have owned my Prius for about a month now. I also wrote my senators & congressmen about lack of tax cut for hybrids now. However, I got NO replys?
Doesn't matter anyway. I love my Prii.

Thanks for giving it a shake, though. Ride on!

Glad to hear that you finally decided to join the forum, KDOG.

How many miles so far? Welcome to the forum.

KDOG · 04-08-2008, 02:44 PM

I just hit 11.1K miles today. I know that's quite a bit since October, but my wife drives it three days a week on a 100 mile round trip. We're taking it up to Maryland in a few weeks, so this will obviously not be a low-mileage car. I guess you can say we bought it to drive it, and we certainly have.
