    Hi Markus, welcome to PriusChat!

    How many miles do you have on it? Just curious.

    Enjoy the wealth of knowledge shared here at PC, I certainly do.

    And that's coming from the moderator, so you know it's okay :)

    I don't agree with your description of Graz though. According to Wikipedia, the keeper of truth, it's the second largest city in Austria, with about 300K people. My hometown had 351 people (not thousands, but 351 total), the closest "city" where we did our major shopping had 12,000 people, and the city where I attended university had 80,000 people. So Graz is a metropolis from my perspective.

    *ggg* ok I#ll do some nonsens posts, thanks to the mod.

    My car is black and has arround 130.000mile.

    I tell you more about me.
    I love cars and also very strong cars. My other car was a 650HP Nissan Skyline. Ok?
    My last car befor the prius was a chrysler 300C, sorry for the patriotism, US car build in Austria, but the car is crap.

    I got more then one car, but for normal driving now I use the prius, my other cars I use only at the racetrack or for friday night cruising.

    The prius was a testcar for me, therefor i bought a cheap one, because I was not sure, if I enjoy prius driving a longer timer.

    Current the price for fuel in austria is around 8-8,5$ per Gallon!!! This was the point, more then 60% of the price are tax.
    For the prius I pay insurance and car tax arround 750$ a year. Our tax rates the HP, so it got 78HP, so it is very cheap.
    For a car with arround 300HP you pay 3000$ tax and insurance a year!!!! For my 650HP Skyline 10000$ tax and insurance a year.

    You pay a lot of money for owning and driving a car in austria, specialy when you got a strong car. But at every corner a police officer takes care, your're not overspeeding. And the goverment "takes care" that none of the money is wasted. Only for politican wages, so the governer of graz earns more money than Arnold Schwarzenegger as govener in california. Ok?

    So there is a lot of things wrong here. So I decided, to drive prius and give at least money at possible to the goverment.

    Now i do some "usefull" post the get 5 posts *ggg*

    I actually really like that! That is AWESOME! I don't know if I'd want my car to have flowers all over it, but I still like it!

    Welcome to PriusChat. Your Prius paint mods are colorful. Graz will know when Markus is in town :D

    Enjoy the high MPGs, technology and low-emissions.
