    Just got this in my email today. . . http://www.toyota.com/html/dyncon/2007/sep...r/birthday.html

    <div align="center">Happy Birthday! Prius!</div> :lol:

    Many readers already know that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the formation of Toyota Motor Corporation. Some may also know that Toyota is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its arrival in America. But who is aware that 2007 is the tenth anniversary of the Prius hybrid? Yes, it was in 1997 that the Prius took to the road in Japan, three years before it was introduced in America.

    In the double digits I wonder how many people know that?

    LOL! You and me both, my poor Prii has been down a few dirt roads lately and the back seat looks like a trash bin at the fast food franchise.

    I still have to convince people that hybrid technology was patented more than a hundred years ago complete with regenerative brakes.

    Happy B-day Prius!!
