My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 |  Chester County, Pennsylvania Three Prius Day! Had ours for just about one month (Black #9) and have yet to see another Prius outside of the dealer's demo. Attended a Democratic Party organizing meeting this morning at the local library and saw - not one, but two others were parked (one with Dean bumpersticker the other with a Kerry one) rn |

My Car: 2004 Prius Package: #9 Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Hi. I live in Chester County. Ever since I ordered my 04 I have had my eye out for Prius's. I have seen them here and there but not a lot. Yesterday I was driving my son to soccer and a Salsa Red 04 passed me. My heart shot through the roof. Very cool. Mine is due in at the end of the month. I am a Republican but I am on the fence right now with all this crap going on. |

The first one was a blue (tideland?) that passed by me by the racetrack (Hwy 115 and I-35w). I was parked off of the side of the road writing down directions to check out another motorcycle. The second one was a white one that was travelling northbound on I-35w. I'm not a democrat or a republican. I'm a Libertarian that would be just fine with seeing BOTH parties get booted out on their butts, and the current system get a badly needed overhaul.

My Car: Package: Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Back to the original issue - we also live in Chester County and own a 04 Salsa (since March 29). I have passed another 04 Salsa on the way to work along Route 1 and have gotten behind a White on the way home from Concord Mall one night. My wife regularly sees a Seaside Pearl one in downtown Kennett and I have seen a Tideland, a Silver and Driftwood in passing. The only one I haven't seen is the Black - I'll have to keep my eye out for you Lectricar |

As for Demos and Republicans, it's sad that the country has become so polarized; perhaps not since slavery and the Civil War have we been so divided. Johno, the "on the fence Republican" who has a Prius is probably not alone among Repubs; perhaps, in a tiny way, the Prius can be a rallying icon to a greater sense of environmental stewardship regardless of party affiliations. I even read that there is a movement among Evangelical Christians to promote environmental protection because, as accounted in scripture, we were made stewards of the earth and, as these Evangelicals realize, we have done a lousy job.......

It's encouraging that my neighbors are purchasing vehicles that help the environment. rn Oh, 53.5 mpg today in a jaunt from Malvern to Media, to Norristown and back to the office in Malvern. Seems that the increase in MPG is directly correlated to the ambient temperature....it's in the 80s |
