Newbie here. Already noticing...

Hi everyone. I'm going to be getting my '05 here pretty soon. I would have never thought I would own a Prius...not because I didn't want one, I just didn't think I'd have the money and the situation would present itself.

So I'm getting a black '05 with 55,000 miles on it. The dealer checked it out and it's in great shape.

I haven't even picked the car up yet, and my dad is already telling me that "Obama made (me) buy it."

I guess welcome to the club, eh?

Welcome Eric:

When gas goes over $4 a gallon, your dad will probably be asking you if he can borrow your Prius. :-)

Oh yeah.... I've been offered "O" bumper stickers by smart alecks that imply a prius means you must be a liberal who voted for Obama. To heck with politics, I vote for 50 MPG

That's why I bought one in '07, the same day my BMW arrived. Now I'm thinking about the 2010 Prius due to the rumored refinements and better gas mileage. My '07 would miss each time I made a sharp right turn and it was quite noisy under acceleration.

But fuel economy, as an aspect of energy policy, *is* political. Politics is more than who runs for President.

Absolutely! I vote my pocketbook, not some socialist agenda.
