    If California allows Prius's to drive in the carpool lane with a single occupant, has anyone thought what that will look like? One lane will contain a long line, nearly exclusively, of Prius's.

    Talk about an effective advertising campaign ...

    Don't need that - the other day (Thursday), I was stuck at the "El Toro Y" where the 5 and 405 rejoin in SoCal (OC). Within a 100 yard (or meter) radius, there were 4 2004 Prius - 3 silver, and my Tideland. Two in front, and one behind. One got off at the El Toro exit as I did.

    Two nights before, I had passed one at a Walmart, and then came out, and had a Seaside (w/ Family Toyota dealer plates) parked opposite of me.

    We seem to "attract" each other when we're driving.

    I counted 9 '04's today while driving up and down the 405 and the PCH.

    There's 2 other '04s within 3 blocks of me.
    There's at least 2 others in my company parking lot.

    Yesterday driving on surface streets came to a 4 way stop. Coming towards me was a tideland '04. coming in from the left was a light blue
    classic prius.

    SO either there's lots more of the prii or my sensitivity has been raised since i got my toy.

    I see at least one '04 almost every single day, and the days of multiple sightings have become almost the norm. 3 Prii at the same intersection is pretty good, but 9 in a single day? Only in Southern California!

    I fondly remember the days (way back in November '03) when I was one of the only '04's on the road...proud to be Prius.
