    On my 20 minute drive to work this morning, I saw at least 7+ Priuses. However interestingly no white Prius today, all other colors.

    Only managed to capture 4 of them with my camera. :p

    So is it safe to say I am a Prius stalker?

    My wife, son & I do Prius spotting while we are out & about. We also spot Swagger (Sienna) & Frogger (Fiesta hatchback). It's a fun game for us :)

    On my daily two mile walk in a residential area I count Priuses parked or moving. the Average is about 5, but on day recently I counted 17. Guess i stalk too.

    I used to be the only one doing that when we go out as a family, now I got my 7 year old daughter doing the same thing. Except she keeps her on going count, she is at 126 Priuses now. The 4 year old can't count that high yet... :p

    On the other hand when my daughter yells out "Prius!", my wife just says "What else!"

    Are they really that scarce in your area, or are you still missing most of them?

    In my area, Prii sightings exceeded my ability to count years ago. I counted Leafs for about six months, then stopped when they reached about 6 per day.

    Just to keep yourself and your stalked targets out of trouble, I would cover up the license tags before posting photos.

    You never know if someone might be being truly stalked by a crazy, and you wouldn't want to help them locate their victim.

    If I counted Prii in my area I would be a distracted driver. Especially ifI took pictures of them!!!

    I've been noticing a lot of new prii lately (before my conference and my flu) on my drive in and from work. I've also noticed a lot more Prii in the parking garage and parking lots at work. It's like they're breeding like rabbits!

    I guess it's ok to be a Prius stalker as long as you aren't the guy who drove around San Fran in an SUV counting Prii and kevetching about them the whole time he found like 8 and saw more SUVs than Prii. I wish I could find that darn video again on Youtube!
