    Hello all,
    I have learned a lot from the people on PriusChat and wanted to say hello. I ordered a Barcelona Red - package 6 on May 20th in Atlanta. Now I'm waiting. :juggle:

    I wish I had researched less and bought sooner. There is so much misconception and hostility about the Prius on the web to wade through! It took me some time to decide. So now I am reading as much as I can, and obsessing a little while I wait.

    Tardis, you should have looked outside of ATL. A few hours drive and you could have one in 3-6 weeks.

    I am on week 2 of a 3-6 week wait. I am in Lower SC

    The extra research helped you ensure you made the right choice. :)

    Welcome to the forum. My recommendations, keep an open mind and stay out of the political forum, evil lurks there. :eek:

    With the time you have, you will be able to get all the information that you need. You will be a pro with your car before you even get it! Congratulations!!!

    Congratulations on making your decision!

    Last night I placed my order for a Barcelona red, package #3. The salesman said, "It could take 6 months, give or take a few months." I replied that I can be patient to get what I want. I was actually glad he didn't try to talk me into giving several color options.

    Ifwintx - you are patient! I hope you don't have to wait that long (or me!).

    F8L - I will stay out of the political forum! sounds scary.

    Based on some of the comments I've seen on other sites I began to wonder if I should be afraid to drive a Prius. I do wonder if some people realize this is a car. Not a coup d’état. :ban:

    (get the car pun - coup?)
