    Hi all! Comin' up for air here for a bit.

    Just did a mass snail-mailer to all my PHEV buyers to say HI and a heads-up alert to your Holiday Gift coming from me in the mail next week. Watch for those letters - they are in a pale lavender envelope.

    Next week, am sending you a lovely holiday/year round keepsake - it's something special that I commissioned from a local Laguna Beach artist to make me en masse ... and if you've ever been IN my office at Carson this year, you'll recognize what you're getting as being something I have (and love) too. :)

    This is not the OTHER piece of art I'd posted about and have planned to give you buyers when your car is being delivered. This is different, and a "thank you" gift from me to YOU!

    I am also working diligently as I get time to load up a database in my Trackvia account to log these orders by order #, car model and color. I can then help you curious data-assimilators to do what you do best: assimilate data!

    My boss was told by the "powers that be" that I had more PHEV orders than anyone in the country ... by a longshot, I believe that was the phrase that was used.
    Thank you all for that.
    It makes me very,very happy to have my boss proud of my/our efforts with the PlugIns and our relationship here at PC!

    I sure appreciate Dianne. Previous car buying experiences were comparable to waterboarding. When I got the call to pick up my 2005 Prius, I couldn't believe how easy it was. Now I will only deal with her.

    So excited to see the keepsake :)

    Dianne,
    Thanks for offering the $500 under MSRP price, which caused my dealer here to follow suit. You rock.

    OK, Where is OUR Dianne here in Rochester, NY ???

    We have a number of Toyota Dealers, yet not one contacted me to solicit my business.

    I picked a dealer because of their location. On Nov.17 the Prius salesman was on VACATION !!! And the next day I had to tell them how the process worked. It took until 5pm to get my Toyota email that he confirmed my order.

    He had a deposit from another client who told him to order a PIP, but he didn't realize Toyota expected the client to place the online request before the Dealer picked up the order from Toyota.

    Can we have a COPY of Dianne sent to us ???

    Good job Dianne! You are selling an awesome car, this Plug-in Prius. Making a short trip to the store today, I was thinking how awesome if mine was a plug-in and did not have to go through the warm up cycle(s). Will be some years out before I can get on board, but others will pave the way for now.

    Not the way I wanted to spend my Monday...

    Guys, your gift packages will be a little late. I'm in the hospital and have been since midday Monday. I hope to be home soon. :(

    I hope you brought some Prius PHEV pamphlets to enlighten the Health Care Professionals, a 2 day stay, you should be able to rack up 2 or 3 sales at least! :D

    And you never can get any rest in the hospital, either. I pray for a speedy recovery. You don't strike me as a person who is easily slowed down by anything. Please do take care of yourself, and get well! :)
