Who's the oldest PriusChat member?

ebsmythe · 03-06-2008, 02:52 PM

I am 74 years young and enjoy my Prius. My wife drove a Honda Civic Hybrid until I brought my 2007 Prius home. Now we have 2 silver package 5s and love them both.

Well, at 71 solar orbits and counting, I know I'm a member of a minority age-group here on Priuschat, but I recall several posters on various threads with more mileage than that. I bought my Prius last September, must have been one of the first 2008 models. I figured that by now Toyota would have all of the potential model bugs fixed.

I really didn't appreciate all of the technical refinements that went into the engineering of this car, until after buying it, driving it and reading the wealth of info on this and other web-sites. I'm a retired aerospace engineer, and the more I've learned, the more I admire the sheer elegance of this engineering gem. The guys at Toyota rightfully deserve the accolades they have received.

65 years old and still racing my Vette occasionally; however, must admit that I truly enjoy driving the Prius.
