    Nope. Second time I have ever been there! First time, we bought the car. We wanted them to demonstrate our auto parking as I was intimidated by it. LOL! They couldn't figure it out either so they set up a simulated parking situation. Took about six people to get it. They were taught over a year ago but forgot. They have only sold two Fives.

    We are just friendly people.

    I was going to get the IV, but the options were pricey, and after I saw the III with premium sound, I was sold. I love this car. I wish I would have seen the demonstration of the auto parking system. I like what the V has to offer... Im sure we will see each other in passing, look for the guy waving in the silver prius. :)

    Silver is hands down my favorite color so you can bet I will be waving back!!

    Hubby wanted me to have the Five because of the lights and real wheels. I just wanted silver. They didn't have one silver car. We purchased the same day as the earthquake. Last day of good deals!

    We live in grass valley.

    Now that is funny!! We ended up with each others favorite color!!

    I also had sunglasses on. They are prescription so I am sure I was wearing them inside since I forgot my clear ones at home.

    That is funny...I always like the white 2011, but when I was ready to buy one, it wasnt available. Funny story, i traded in my 08 Sequoia for my 11 Prius...and I never drove the Prius. It wasnt until I was about to sign the papers when Lihn asked me to drive it.

    Really? That Is funny. I had experience with Prii so I drove it around the block. Put a couple miles on it and got down to business.

    I think the rear cup holders are a huge improvement over Gen II's for kids. Both rear cup holders are troublesome in the other two family Prii. Course, three kids would kill that feature all together on the new ones.

    Yeah, we have 3 kids, so we do family trips in our SUV. We bought the SUV 2 days after the Prius...the SUV only has 2.5k miles. My Prius has 6.5k miles. :)

    We don't go to Yuba City that often. Last time was a couple months ago. We were on a cast iron skillet mission. Found two in a Marysville thrift store.

    Do you ever come to Grass Valley? We live close to Rough and Ready.

    Its been a while since I've been to Grass Valley. Maybe a few months ago. I do like it up there, just to hang out, check out the little shops and all. How do you like the solar roof and AC venting during the warmer days?

    I don't have the solar roof. The Five package has the larger wheels, low profile tires, advanced technology and nav.

    If your family is coming this way, let us know!! (there is more here than shopping)

    That sounds like a plan. We always wanted to find more things to do around there, just never had anyone we knew up there to show us the ways.

    Same goes if you are in Yuba City, hit me up and maybe we can all catch a lunch.
