    hello guys, thought i would check in and say hello. my wife decided she was tired of paying out the rear for gas every week so she decided to trade her previous car for a new 2013 Prius 3, Barcelona red with tan Eco Friendly Leather, 17" Performance Sport wheels, Clear Bra on hood and fenders and mirror caps, and Window Tint (which i removed after delivery and installed Ceramic SunTek Carbon XP 45% on everything including the complete windshield). we never imagined in a hundred years we ever own a Hybrid, but boy, we wished we would have made this switch years ago now. anyway, here are just some of her previous cars, as well as her new Prius the day we took delivery off the showroom floor. hope to chat with you guys on here![​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    thanks guys, we really enjoy this car more than we ever imagined we would. we bought it exactly one week ago today and we already put 563 miles on it. i just filled it up yesterday and it only cost $25! i was psyched!! her last car, the black mustang cost minimum $45 a week and it was a V6 car.

    oh yeah, ahmeow, just in case she sees the forum. she's my wife and not girlfriend...lol

    Welcome aboard and enjoy the ride! Wow, what a selection of rides. With all the depreciation, you could have had gas in the Prius for a lifetime. ;)

    Congrats. That's a nice looking Prius to go with the other nice cars. I think the wheels look great on the red.

    Interesting. It's got the Performance Plus wheels without the lowering springs.

    If that car was in any of my dealer showrooms, it would've been a hard choice to do anything other than to buy it!

    Yes it has the Performance Plus wheels but not the ground effects pkg. it was ordered that way I guess. But we do like it a lot! Going to try to get the ground effects a little later on.

    The ride isn't that bad actually, if you run the proper air pressure in them. When we took delivery each tire only had 28lbs in them. It rode like a dump truck. Aired them up to 33lbs and its good to go now.
