am I green ?

[avischwartz]

Okay, now I am really confused. I've had my 2008 Prius for about a month now, and I assumed it was a green "green" car. It is sort of the color which is on the underside of a leaf from an olive tree (we got a bunch of those in this part of the world). Anyway, I glanced at the pictures on the silver mica club (what the heck is a mica) and it sure looks my car. I am leaving it up to you experts. Am I a green green?
Pictures are attached.

I believe it's the silver pine mica club...pine being a green tree, a silver pine a lighter green color...like your car.

The word "mica" is thought to be derived from the Latin word micare, meaning to shine, in reference to the brilliant appearance of this mineral (especially when in small scales).

Thanks, I like it too. The Prius has gotten very popular in Israel.
I see you are a moderator for Priuschat. It is a great site. I learned a lot before the car arrived and the members are very helpful. You need to add 2008 on the personal profile. It felt empty putting down 2007 because there was no 2008 option.

Try changing it to a 2008 now...I don't usually do that so my experiment may not have worked. If it doesn't work let me know and I'll let Danny do it.

.כן, אתה ירוק כארן כסוף

By the way, do you really think that the plastic ties will prevent the theft of the wheel covers?

No, they are there so they do not fly off when I hit a pothole. It happened before and I do not feel like buying a new set of caps.

I noticed something interesting on your rear bumper. Does the Israeli version of the Prius come with a "Sonar" back-up system instead of the rear camera?

It never even dawned on me that someone would want to steal the caps. The car, maybe, but not the caps.

Nope, I ordered the sonar and the camera. In retrospect, the camera is really not needed. The sonar is great, though.
