    Folks who've owned the Prius back a dozen years ago and more . . . remember when we'd all wave at each other. Dorky, true. But in the same vein - most new model car owners are tempted to wave, or do something;



    I came across this, after looking at many of the other owner made commercials. Unbelievable that owners would put this kind of time / quality into these productions.

    Any newly design vehicles on the road will get a second look! Just a nod! My 2014 red convertible corvette I don't get nods instead they stop and jaws drop! [​IMG]

    depends on how you drive it! Either way lots of it! Just for fun hypermile it for 157 mile trip! Filled and refueled at same station! 3.8 gal yeilding 41+ mpg! Thanks to priuschat I learn the art of pulse and guide! Many thanks! to the members of Priuschat!
    FYI average speed around 62 mph in 7th gear, in eco mode keeping engine in 4 cyl mode is the key.

    Oddly enough it isn't Musk's nod, which is very distinctive.

    Thank you kindly.

    What?! We had a 1976 CJ5 from '76 to 82 - & never saw a single wave / a nod /nothin' ... highway, sand dunes or rock crawling . That's usually the nature though - when a vehicle has been around for what ... 60 / 70 years?
    But hey, if you think 0 to 60 in 7 seconds is more fun? Go for it ...
    ;)
