Hi
I love that place. We did a priusownersgroup road trip there a few years ago to Quebec City during their Winter Carnaval. It was a complete blast. I've been dying to get back there. It's a truly wonderful city.

Please, don't fall into this trap. The road trip has to have a feel, it has to have a personality and you are only going to get that with interaction with the environment and people. Less there are trees, look at the sky, here is traffic...more "How about these pancakes! Meet the locals, impressions of The Prius from others, from you...
I agree with this post. I finally had a chance to watch them and was excited to see more Prius footage but so far its more about the trip and what you see in the trip than about the car and what people think about the car.

The way it comes across to me is that the video is primarily about your own personal road trip with a little bit of Prius conversation/front bumper bug shots thrown in there.

I hope that they get better as this is a real cool channel to reach more people and create more awareness. Good luck!

So Evan, why can't you get to it from work? Probably because
your powers-that-be have decided that facebook is a frivolity
they'd rather not have the people they're paying to be productive
spending their time on. That should be a telling statement
by itself.
.
My specific "problem", if you could call it that, is a proxy that
doesn't send a User-agent: HTTP header. If I fake one up, facebook
responds normally. But what should any website care what browser I'm
using? We have baseline standards for a reason, and where aspects
are clearly described as OPTIONAL, any entity that considers them
mandatory is in violation of the standards. This isn't a .0001%
thing -- anyone could run into it, and your 99.999% of the users
would probably be hopelessly unable to actually debug what's going on.
.
