New Prius Owner

Mozencrath · 06-27-2006, 05:44 PM

Yup thats me.

Just picked up a 2004, package #9 from a very nice gentleman in New Jersey. I live in New York. The main reason I bought the vehicle is for my 100 mile round trip on the Long Island Expressway. I can FINALLY take the HOV lane!!!

I can't believe all the options and don't know how long it will take me to learn everything.

Thanks Dan!

The length of time it will take you to become Prius proficient is directly related to the number of errands and junket trips you can dream up.

You will find yourself rationalizing . . . “I THINK I WILL GO TO________ AND GET SOME ______ BECAUSE ________.”

Yea, welcome another NY Prius driver! I too drive on LIE. You will probably see me in my black Prius. If you are interested in the next meet up, pm me your email. I'll add it to our list.

By any chance, is your dad a veteran? I spoke to a very nice man on the Vetaran's day about my Prius and showed him inside out! He told me about his son who commutes 100 miles on LIE everyday. I told him about the Clean Pass program and that Prius would be perfect for his son.
