Dutchie took the plunge !!

BartO · 06-17-2005, 01:41 PM

Hi all,

We thought it over and over and...Today we decided to trade in current (and still pretty new but very fuel hungry) car for a Prius. So, one hour ago we ordered our new salsa-red pride and joy! Expected delivery time: about 4 months...Let's hope it will be worth the wait (and loss of money for trading in an 8 months old car).

regards, Bart

Congratulations Bart!

If your Prius is like ours, I think you'll be very happy with your decision.

Congrats!! You can use the waiting time to prep yourself!

Congrats on the order!!! Don't let the wait time get you down...there's plenty of info here to keep you busy. This is a fantastic site to get everything you ever wanted to know, and some stuff you don't want to know (aka Fred's House of Pancakes forum here on the site :P )

Congrats Bart!

I'm sure you will love the Prius. And I bet your soon-to-be old car will have a good trade value, being so new.

Anytime I meet anyone from the Netherlands I think of the Dutch professor I worked for last fall... he and his wife spoke Dutch to each other but had to use some English science words (we're all researchers) and they called their language "Dinglish" :mrgreen: They are very good humored people.
