New member and I just bought a 2007 Prius!

Jaibyrd · 08-08-2007, 10:12 AM

Greetings all,

I just recently got my brand-new 2007 Prius (Touring with Package #3) and I am so happy! I have been researching and researching this move for a year now ever since my old '99 Ford Contour tried to spit it's engine out at me. Being a high school science teacher and a dirt-worshiping tree-hugger I just knew this was the car for me. I am just amazed at the amount of things this car can do as I just figured out how to route my cell through it and call people with my car! I am just so excited (can you tell?)!

Here's some pics:

Anyway, I stumbled on this site when I was looking for a steering wheel cover that fit it's steering wheel. The issue is, I don't want a leather one, I like fuzzy or nubby ones. Any suggestions?

Hi, you have stumbled upon a great site. Congrats and welcome to PC!

Welcome. You should do a search for the Magnetic Gray Club and post there too

I love my Mag gray car. I finally named it Maggie

I hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours.... The way we had to get our Maggie was sad due to a Mazda 2004 Miata not being able to be fixed by the dealership so we gave up but it has been the best thing ever.

Hi and congrats on your purchase. Yes this is a very useful web-site. My suggestion is to initially drive the car like any other car then one by one appply the techniques learned from here. That way you know what impact each makes.

Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks gmlawrence! I did post in the club and even made a little club image for you all!

What a great name for your car! I named mine "Anubis".

Another genius and wise individual joins our midst. Welcome. Don't have a source for the fuzzy wheel cover but might find a black bear up here who would volunteer a little of his/her excess winter coat.

Hope you enjoy yours as much as I'm just starting to enjoy mine

Welcome. Now you need to protect the paint with a 3M or Venture Shield clear bra and get something on the top of the back bumper. The primer is white so the scratches really show.

Congrats and welcome to PriusChat!

I am a new member here myself, even though I have been lurking since March 2005, when I began shopping for my 2005 Prius. I traded and bought a new 2007 Driftwood (same color as my 2005 :P ) package #6 on the same day you bought yours, so I am a proud and happy new owner as well
