It's pretty brutal here. By that I mean three inches of snow with no salt or sand on the roads recently. The traction control and abs is working overtime today. The Traffic is moving very slowly, accidents sprinkled all over, expected to snow until midnight, then you guys should be okay tomorrow.
Um, if I was coming in from AZ, I would prepare for Tuesday's high of -16C (three degrees US). Enjoy the show. I might try and hit the "industry preview" day-not that I work in the industry, but for the extra money you get to avoid the huge crowds on the public days.

SUPERB !!!!

"As seen on PriusChat.com"

YouTube videos are a plus.

When is the big date? What day is the unveiling?

It would be nice to keep all such recounting of the event in ONE,
or maybe two, threads, as the leadup to the event has been way
too fraught with "too many threads creep" and it's been almost
impossible to keep track.

*snicker* Good luck on that one!

I get up in eight hours. Hmmm. Nowhere near bedtime yet. What to do, what to do.

I'm in detroit!! :welcome:

Yahooo! Way 'to go before' for us :rockon:

... not sure if i'll make it or not... everything keeps going wrong. no cell charger, 2 dead batteries, missing luggage bags... not sure where they went.. but i may have to use a normal backpack.. o well.. laptop crapped out on me... etc..

i was going to cancel a few days ago.. but.. i'm Trying to convince myself i'll be happier ON this trip. another part of me wants to drag it down and make it miserable for others... i get up to leave in 5 hours... (if i go)

That, we don't need. Hope that you will find the 2010 introduction to be an enjoyable and positive experience.

In any event, don't worry about your laptop, since computers will be available for our use in Detroit.

I'm looking forward to meeting the PriusChat staff!

I would love to be there, meet my own personal gurus like yourself, Hobbit, Bob Wilson, and all the others who I read constantly at yahoo's PTS group and here.

Unfortunately it is too far away for me, and the expenses would be huge. I will have to make myself happy in the latter Geneve auto show where the European version will be presented.

Have fun you all, and please do report every single detail about the car! :rockon:

GODSPEED to all my friends.

report well, send lots of photos and take care.

i'll be looking here to find the latest!

cheers.

i didn't go. enjoy.bye

I figure the bird brain aussie (patsparks) is half way between CA an Hawaii about now. I'll be landing in 5 hours ... woo hoo!

For the record, do we know who the lucky PriusChatters are that got invited
to Detroit? Probably these:

Patrick Wong
patsparks
TonyPSchaefer
efusco
danny
hill
usbseawolf2000
HTMLSpinnr
darelldd
flareak
Hobbit
Rae Vynn
Bob Wilson

and others perhaps? (Oops, is this supposed to be 'privileged information?')

From the postings, I can't always tell invitees from members who may be
attending on their own.

Well, the info really isn't privileged anymore, but I'll let others speak for themselves. They might choose to stay low profile. But I'm in, sitting in RIC as we speak awaiting my (delayed) flight. Yeehaw!
