I was at a costco yesterday, and while looking for parking, I saw a green and white prius taxi. Thought it was pretty cool so I took a picture with my crappy verizon phone. Although I have no way of getting it of of the phone unless I send someone the picture

oh yeah no way? sometimes when i see other priuses i show the peace sign, but sometimes they give me the wierd look..... thanks although when you look closer at the side of my body you can see a ding ( grr lucky i didn't paint it yet) plus you can see the faded numbers of victoria b.c taxi service w00t!

i want to see your sick setup sometime, my car needs a lot of work but i'm lazy and been pretty happy at the under 4L/100km mileage.

but yeah i'm from the fraiser heights area, i commute to richmond if I'm required to work at the office (and no i'm not a balla buisness man, i'm a mere peon for the software industry)

the 2 tone paint job is apparently done from the guy I bought the prius from, he's my trusty prius mechanic, i go through him until he gives up and i go to his toyota buddy dealer, which helped me installed the block heater successfully, right now im in the process of fixing my A/C before the weather gets worse, just waiting on scap parts! My hoses are leaking

and for the record, on the 91 i've gone at least 160 km/h with me (130 pounds) and 3 other peeps (200 pounds, 140 pounds, 150 pounds) since your car is more souped up than mine pesto I expect better from you

Default Highland, NY has one also

A local taxi company has introduced its first hybrid. Unfortunately this article has no photos, but I will try to get one myself, and will post it here when it do.
