I made some important decisions today!

[StarBrite310]

Okay so I went to a dealership and I looked at the red. As much as I like it, I can see myself getting sick of it. It definitely is a beautiful red, but I think I am gonna stick with black.

Also, I think I am going to get package 7 instead of 8. I actually just spoke to the guy I am dealing with and my package 8 will be arriving at the port January 3rd and I can be getting it anytime between the 5th and 10th. If I decide to take package 7, then I will have to wait another 2 weeks which is fine. The thing is, I am not sure if this car really needs leather. It defeats the purpose of the car and I just think I would be fine without it.

I was actually pretty interested in package 6 but I was just told that Southern California isn't getting any package 6's in. I was having 2nd thoughts about the navigation because I never use it on the car we have now. But package 3 is missing stuff I want so that's not an option for me.

Anyway, I think I am gonna maybe go for the pakage 7. It saves $1200.00 in the long run and that's a lot for me.

Any comments?

I just happened to see a red prius next door to my house today. Actually, didn't like the look of it as much as I thought I would...

Star Brite: sounds like 6 or 7 will do ya!

After years of ambivalent feelings on red cars, I've decided I like looking at OTHER people's red cars, and driving one occasionally, rather than owning one. Can't figure that out. Oh, well. I like "bold", and seaside isn't a bold blue, but none of the Prius colors, save black and white, qualifies as bold.

yes, another person driving a black prius

^ I see sooo many black Prius' on the street all the time. Too bad most of the people keep them filthy.

Well it's hard in the wintertime to keep cars clean here. For example my daughters car the other day was filthy dirty. She said she wanted to go get it washed but was afraid it would just get dirty again. I told her to just take a pitcher of warm water and to try to rinse some of the dirty/salt off it. The next day I say her car I asked her why she didn't do what I told her to do. She said she went and washed it at a car wash yesterday. I was like WHAT! I can't tell??!!!

That's WI winters for ya

My clothe interior is starting to look dingy after 3 months/3500 miles. If I had the money to get leather, I would do it. Of course, I have a 10 year old son!

I'm not sure I get it. How exactly does leather defeat the purpose of the car? What exactly do you consider the purpose of the car to be?

I figure its a lot easier to put different fabric seat covers on if you get sick of the leather then to put leather on if you get sick of cloth. That and leather is more likely to wear better in the log run.

Back in the old days....early last year..... you took what you could get.
I always wanted the Tideland but after waiting nine months I was offered a Salsa.
I took it and I'm so happy I did I love the color, but too each his own. Just enjoy the car when you get one.


P.S.
After seeing the Barcelona Red Metallic I could see how you would not care to own that color. Way too bright for my taste. I'd also wait for my color of choice it that was what I was offered.
