Ah.. so that's your car I saw a few weeks ago! I really like the 2-tone paint job!

 

saw something this past week in the paper where NYC is encouraging taxi fleets to buy hybrids! It's about time!!!

oh yeah no way? sometimes when i see other priuses i show the peace sign, but sometimes they give me the wierd look..... thanks although when you look closer at the side of my body you can see a ding ( grr lucky i didn't paint it yet) plus you can see the faded numbers of victoria b.c taxi service w00t!

i want to see your sick setup sometime, my car needs a lot of work but i'm lazy and been pretty happy at the under 4L/100km mileage.

but yeah i'm from the fraiser heights area, i commute to richmond if I'm required to work at the office (and no i'm not a balla buisness man, i'm a mere peon for the software industry)

the 2 tone paint job is apparently done from the guy I bought the prius from, he's my trusty prius mechanic, i go through him until he gives up and i go to his toyota buddy dealer, which helped me installed the block heater successfully, right now im in the process of fixing my A/C before the weather gets worse, just waiting on scap parts! My hoses are leaking

and for the record, on the 91 i've gone at least 160 km/h with me (130 pounds) and 3 other peeps (200 pounds, 140 pounds, 150 pounds) since your car is more souped up than mine pesto I expect better from you

Saw one of those green & white Prius taxis this morning on Haight near Fillmore in San Francisco.

 

Highland, NY has one also

A local taxi company has introduced its first hybrid. Unfortunately this article has no photos, but I will try to get one myself, and will post it here when it do.

Another article on the same Prius:

Still no pictures.

 

The taxi company here (Lincoln, Nebraska) has 3 Priuses ... kind of a bid deal for Red country.

 

You beat me to it! They don't waive at me though

 

We saw this one in the environs of Seattle a few weeks ago:

 

Prius Limos in Mass.

FWIW, when my wife and I fly from Logan Airport (50 miles from here), we usually hire a local limo operator to take us and pick us up. The small company has two Prii--in fact that was the first time I ever rode in one of these terrific cars.

If I remember correctly, guy is a retired aircraft engineer and a confirmed early adopter--and he's trying to keep costs down.

Body side moldings

Barbaram,

Where did you get the body-colored body side moldings for your Prius? Who installed them. They look awesome and I bet they really protect your car.
