    Hi All,

    Just thought I would intro myself after joining today. Bought my Prius 2010 (V) almost two months ago. About 1300 mi on the ODO. Added window tint and clear bra. You might laugh at this but I sold my 2004 350Z with very low miles to buy this car. Quite a change! The Prius is a lot of fun to drive and I don't regret the change at all. So far I'm getting 47.5 MPG with lots of short trips.

    My name is Mike Samuels and I live in Lincoln, CA, not far from Sacramento. Being retired I play a lot of golf and have an electric golf cart. I enjoy the Forum at lot...

    Welcome to PriusChat, Mike! :)

    You'll find a wealth of information about your car, and a wide variety of opinion on just about everything - some of it having absolutely nothing to do with cars. ;)

    Use the PWR mode button, It's not quite a turbo but it's close!!

    Ok, just checking.

    Well if you ever see a red GenII Prius parked along Hwy 65 just outside of town (North), that would be me working on one of our nature preserves in the area. :) Actually, my avatar picture was taken in the same area by the old corral on the left side of Hwy 65 about a mile of so outside of town.

    Welcome, Mike. I haven't been here long either. I traded a 2005 Avalon that I loved and haven't missed it. I love my Prius!!!
