Default uh....I'll give it a try...

I see I suddenly got 'Moderator' status for the N.E. Ohio/ N.W.Pa club. I'm willing to give it a shot. Now, we just need to hear from other owners. I know there are some in the Cleveland area, the Sharon Pa. area, Meadville and Erie areas. Let's go guys. We have a reputation as 'the Rust Belt' but there a lot of forward-thinking people up here, and I think Prius owners fall into that class. If you're reluctant to post, just send me a private message through this board and let me know you are out there.
As an aside, I was asked to give an interview to a reporter from the Erie Times-News this afternoon. We chatted on the phone for a while and he asked some pretty good questions. We'll see how it all comes out, but he found me through Priuschat.com and I put in a few good plugs for the forum (thanks Danny!). I know our cars are next to impossible to get right now, but the message about the technology has to get out if it is going to enter the mainstream.

Jerry,
I should be able to participate. Not really sure what a regional community could bring, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Thanks Mike. I don't know what will develop here either but I'm sure there might be some regional issues, such as e-check rules, traffic problems, dealer problems, etc. that might get airing here. I also think it might be nice to have a meetup once a year just to emphasize the 'power of the Prius' to foster change in people's attitudes about hybrid cars. I have only seen one other Prius in my local area and I think it would be neat to get a bunch together. I'm sure a gathering of Prii would be of interest to news outlets in the area, again to promote the wider acceptance of hybrid vehicles.

I've seen a few other '04 Prii in my area. I know of one other Priuschat member that lives only a couple miles away from me based on his location. It may be helpful to know someone else who has a Prius close to where I live.

Another new '04 Prius owner (3 weeks old) here from east side of Cleveland. Haven't seen too many Prius here in my area.

Bob,
I think I've seen every color but Super White and Seaside Pearl here in town. There's a Black and a Silver that I sometimes see during my commute into downtown along the shoreway from Mentor. The Black is owned by someone who lives near me. I saw a Red last weekend taking the East 422 spike off of 271 South. One day, I saw another Tideland in the Willoughby Brewing parking lot. The Driftwood that I saw was still on the truck being pulled into Classic. It's definitely not a daily occurence that I see another 2004 Prius, but it is almost weekly.

Hi, I am on the east side of Cleveland with a Tideland Pearl. I think a Rally to Erie to eat at Hectors could be a blast.

Tom.

I'm about 5 mi. south of I-90 in the infamous snow belt. Hector's? Don't know how long ago you were there Tom but it's not exactly the best neighborhood in town. Little Italy used to be a great place - lots of neat little nieghborhood bars and restaurants- but it's been changing a lot over the last few years. Sad.
I thought that a nice place for a possible meet-up would be at Potbelly's restaurant in Madison,OH just off I-90. It's just an converted gas station but has the best breakfasts and dinners we've found between Erie and Cleveland - and real inexpensive , too. Early fall might be a good time.

I'm glad to see some interest in the area. My wife has seen a few more Prii in the area so there may be more interest as the summer goes on..

I'll try to breathe a little life into this forum!

I'm in Concord, OH - practically in Mentor. I've ordered my 2005-6 Prius (preferrably 2006) from Bedford Toyota - there was no way I was goin through the Mentor Toyota. Those jokers didn't even have a test model to drive.

I've seen one Salsa Red Prius in the area lately around Heisley Road and Mentor Ave. I would have tailed the Prius home, but my wife is not as obsessed as I am. JIC, if you see a vanilla-colored boxy S70 Volvo following you around - that's me.

I'm hoping to receive shipment of my Prius sometime in 06 to get that great tax benefit - I hate tax season! But, if it come in before that, it'll be hard to wait!

Let's get something going in our area!
