    :whoo:CONGRATS!!:first:

    I think we can all sympathize with the predicament that here you have a highly efficient vehicle designed to save gasoline and the first thing you want to do is make up reasons to drive it more. Don't tell anyone I said this, but "go for it." Shoot, I'm not even sure you need a reason.

    And don't forget the pictures! :photo:

    Been there, done that. Welcome to the club!

    And remember, the more you drive, the more you save. :unsure:

    And because it is rarely done anymore, I'll gladly give you your first Prius wave. :wave:

    Yes this car is worth waiting and not only. I have a lot of city driving in my every day and unfortunately not without traffic jams. I had Honda Civic 2006 (not hybrid) before, now I can even enjoy sitting in jam, because before I could see average fuel consumption growing more or less rapidly (we have l/100km). Now it doesn't matter from fuel consumption point of view. It is really good feeling :) Especially as I'm somehow green addicted :)
    And despite I loved driving my Civic, driving Prii is enjoyment by itself :)
    My wife tried it too, and of course loved this car, I consider to be jealous :p (kidding)

    P.S. Btw my nick is LMP :D

    Never mind :D everyone is mixing up those characters, probably my fault because I use all lowercase. :rolleyes:

    Anyway this weekend we were on countryside of course wit our new car. :) Now we have something about 650km (406 mi) on it. I love it even more if it is possible at all :D
    Fuel economy on this trip was 5.1 l/100km (46 mpg), not too impressive, but good enough for an new car.

    Have few things wondering about, but first of all I'll try to search forums and only then ask "stupid questions" :)
