Prius sightings in Minnesota

OwenKealy · 09-09-2007, 01:28 AM

I see alot of Priuses (Prii??) day-to-day.

I think that John1701a said that the Twin Cities are one of the places where the Prius got a foothold.

I see at least three of 'em each day, without even looking. Heck, my wife and I parked at the Ren Fest, and I counted four other Priuses walking from ours to the front gate.

We moved out to Mitchell because my wife found our dream house. We moved from a small bungalow in North River Heights (1100 SF) to our current house which is (3000 SF) custom build in 2001 and we have 3 acres of property. Kind of funny because I am a Navy guy living in an area where Religion is a way off life.

We basically bought or new home for the same price as our former bungalow. I can let my labs run loose and we have no nosey neighbours like we did in the city and have more than a postage stamp for a back yard. We enjoy the country living and we are on 30 minutes from Costco on Regent.

If the roads are really bad I have a room on the base to stay in all the time. I also have the Highlander if I am really concerned, but then my gas bill will more than double. When you get back we should get together at Timmies. Thanks for all the info you provided.

Cheers Mike

No wonder...

And in the Midwest, sales rose fastest in Minnesota, up 98 percent, according to Southfield, Mich.-based Polk, which uses auto registration data provided by states. Oklahoma led all U.S. states with a 143 percent jump in sales.

A 57 percent increase through July in Minnesota and 11 other Midwestern states topped growth in the West, including California, where most hybrids are sold, Polk said. Sales in the western U.S. rose 52 percent.[/b]

An article on the front page of the Minneapolis Star Tribune today.

"According to Polk, 3,576 new hybrid vehicles were registered in Minnesota in the first seven months of this year, up 98% from the same period in 2006."
