Hi everyone! It was just last week, when the news announced gas prices are expected to exceed $4/gallon, that I decided it was time to get rid of my nearly-new GMC Acadia and go for a hybrid. Test drove a Prius on Saturday...did some research and internet shopping and am pleased to say that I drove home my Silver Pine Mica Package #6 last night. Less than 24 hours and I see that I'm already obsessed with tracking my MPG progress...I'm in trouble now! Anyway, I"m loving the car and certainly don't feel as f I downgraded at all. I have lots of learning to do this weekend and so many manuals to read. Anyway, just wanted to say hello!
Welcome tiffnco! I'd say you did a big-time upgrade! Good move. Glad to have you in the community - great place for the best information on these very smart cars.:welcome:
Great color choice...Silver Pine Mica Congrats and welcome... from one OC Prius owner to another Now, back to my :washing:
:welcome:.....and I must say that you got the best, or certainly the "greenest", color!! I don't know what an Acadia even is, but seeing the GMC in front of the name causes me to think it is probably a gas-guzzler. You'll love the Prius, the perfect car for S. Cal. Now if only my sister, who lives in OC, would get one......I'll keep working on her.
Welcome to PriusChat, tiffnco! In addition to the rather dense Toyota manuals, take a look at the manuals John1701a has put together. Easier to understand, but he also had great material if you want to go deeper. Lots of good material on PC too, read the stickys in each forum that interests you.
Welcome and great color choice. When I saw OC, I originally assumed you meant Oregon City, Oregon, but now I see it is Orange County. Please say hello ot Micky Mouse and Pluto if you run into them. They are old freinds of mine.
Good choice of color. Fits the look of a green car. Welcome to the forum. Yep, gas prices will continue to rise. Diesel in our area is already at 4.099/gallon. Premium gasoline is 3.599/gallon. Regular is 3.299/gallon.
Thanks for all the warm welcomes! Now it's time for me to go program the garage door button in the car. Poor thing has been parked outside all night...it must be cold and lonely!
Oh yeah, I bet it got down to almost 60 last night in the OC. That is a great idea I never thought of before. If I clean all that junk out, I could park a car in there. Is that why the door is so big? I have always wondered about that big door in garrages.
