How many Prii on your block?

[4chi]

We have, oh, probably 25 houses on our block. My car makes the 3rd Prius and the 5th hybrid on the block. How many do you have?

And off my own topic, I just sold my old car (02 Highlander) for about $3k more than the dealer's top trade offer, so I'm even happier about my Prius now.

I believe we're the only ones on the block. However, there are two in our garage!

I think mine may be the only one on the block. I've seen a handful of them passing through the neighborhood on one of the larger streets (which most folks use during rush hour to cut through or get around traffic on some of the main arteries as they run parallel), but have no idea if they live in the neighborhood or are passing through. My Prius does share subterranean garage space with an Escape Hybrid, which my neighbor bought shortly after I got my Prius. He wanted a Prius too, but couldn't find any available to test drive so he went to Ford instead and got another hybrid.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in our small town Although there was one parked on my block briefly when I got home from work last night. Someone else in town has a Camry Hybrid, though.

I'm the only one on my block, which really surprises me. Corona is full of commuters.

I'm the only one on my block. I've seen another one (same color amazingly) near the local shopping center and know of another older one in town.

Four. All different colors at that.

Driving to work (not a long distance by anyone's reckoning), I usually see another four. One would think we actually had a Toyota Prius manufacturing plant (or at the very least a dealership!!) in our town.

None on our block or in the vicinity. It's odd, but I'm reminded of when I drove a motocycle years ago. Prius owners we see in traffic notice us and we notice them. My wife is the primary driver, and other Prius owners have waived at her in traffic, just like the bike riders used to waive at me on the road.

What was interesting was that when my wife drove her car to work she had to take coworkers to lunch for a week so they could see the "space car." Most of them had never heard of a Prius. They asked why it isn't advertised, and my wife explained that when they tend to sell before they arrive at the showroom there isn't really any need to spend money on advertising. A coworker bragged that he gets 50 mpg on his motorcycle. My wife pointed out she gets 50 mpg and doesn't have to get wet when it rains. He wants one now.

None, none at all. One in the Development I am in.
