i got mine !

mxvet · 08-20-2007, 08:29 AM

Well, after studying and learning about the Prius here and from friends, I picked mine up on Friday.
all I can say is WOW !.
I commute 140 miles/day and my trust Buick Rendezvous got me 26mpg faithfully for the 209,000 that I drove it.
So far I am averaging 46.7 !
This isn't really driving , it's more like a game !
Between the moniter, learning how to pulse/glide and the great sound system it's just plain fun.
thanks to all who have contributed and helped make the learning curve easier.

Welcome to the fun.

Now all you need do is update your profile and get rid of that other non-hybrid label

Awesome! Welcome to the club!

Is your commute mostly highway driving?

LIke any game, it's more fun playing with your friends.
Pretty cool too, each playing piece comes with it's own score board!!
