Thumbs up She's In The Garage!

Picked up our new Driftwood Pearl Pkg 2 this AM. (No pictures yet!) Got 61.2 mpg on the one hour drive home from the dealership (some in town and some highway miles)! DH says it was fun to drive - surprisingly smooth and quiet. I got to drive the Yukon gas hog home! I got 19.9 mpg. We were on the waiting list 34 days with 3 color choices - Silver Pine Mica would have been our first choice but we weren't going to say no to the Driftwood and keep waiting! The dealer is no longer adding any names to "the list" because the '09's will be out before he can fill the orders he's got. Didn't want the ToyotaGuard but it was already on the car - tried to sell us on the extended warranty but "no, thanks". Appreciate all the great info here on Priuschat - has been a great help.

Nice to see more Prii popping up in the southeast. Enjoy your car, and be sure to find the "secret door" under neath the center console/drink holder.

Your new Prius is in the garage?
Bet you're trying to think up somewhere you 'need' to go, just so you can drive it somewhere . . . anywhere.

I know. Been there, done that.

Welcome to PriusChat . . . and the wonders of driving a Prius.
