I'm a radical convert.....

[narf]

Another radical convert here! Last car was an Audi A4, previous cars included Corrado, GTI, Miata, all of which I have autocrossed/club raced.
No I don't intend to race the Prius but I sure am enjoying the car! Even thought each of the cars I listed was a fun car to drive, this is a far better commuter car than any of those cars, and that's what I use a car for. I've also notice that I'm much more relaxed when I get to my destination, an added side benefit! (I wonder if there is a real correlation between extra HP and road rage?)

Interestingly (for me anyway) my first car was a 1972 Citroen DS 21. Just as radical a car for it's time and very Prius-like in forward thinking engineering. Maybe I'm just returning to my roots.

(I moved on to racing something really fast now, 125CC shifter karts)

One word why to own a sti--FUN!!! That's why I own a harley. This country is too up-tight. Long live fun seekers!!!!

I traded a MINI Cooper S for my Prius. I admit, a person does get more attention in the Cooper than in the Prius. I got question everyday about it. I have only had the Prius about a week and I have had several people ask about it.

Re-Hi all,

I'm enjoying the responses I've been getting. And thanks for the warm welcome.

Well - I didn't think that 2 to 3 months would be any big deal, but GEEEEZ - I can't get the car out of my head! It's gonna be a long 2 or 3 months while I wait for my car to be ready.

I WANT IT, I WANT IT, I WANT IT!!!!

I've already been looking into what, if any, mods I'd wanna make. The only one that I'm interested in is the XM Radio conversion - but I don't want to dis-assemble the dash. Criminy - I haven't even picked up the car yet, and I'm already considering dis-assembling the dash???

Anyone have any experience with the XM addition?

Yoda,

Sorry to inform you there good buddy . . . but . . . the waiting is actually the easiest part.

I’ve had my 05 AM Salsa baby for six months as of last Friday, but each time I get in to drive, it still feels the same as the first day I drove it off the lot.

The car will remain firmly planted in your head - it only gets worse when it gets into your bloodstream and heart too.

I think the Prius is the Crack Cocaine of cars. You ain’t addicted yet! :crazyeyes:

Being flexible, on Monday evening we bought a Pkg# 2 (we wanted a #4) and color Silver (we wanted color Green) already at the dealership, wrote checks to pay and drove away, same day Fairfax, VA

I feel for you...

Just like you, I have to wait a few months, too. So, I am keeping myself entertained by thinking about all the things I am going to do to it, researching the parts I want to add to it, etc.

Take a look at the forum entry about my wait and the sage advice provided by those that now have theirs, who had to wait even longer...

Hey Addison,

I am also looking at what "additions" I want to make.

The device that kills the "agree" screen and lets you enter a destination (even when moving) tops my list.

I'm also interested in the XM option - but it seems that it requires taking the dash apart. I don't even have this car yet, and I'm thinking of taking the dash apart? I'm a bit leary on that.....
