    Hey guys!

    I'm back.. and the reason I say that is because apparently I had an account here from sometime ago. I'm back with my official daily, 2013 Prius II. Amazing car.. plain and simple. I'm coming from BMW 7-Series, Audi A6 among other German cars. I also had few Honda's and such. I was desperate to get into something good, that was spacious, great on gas. Before getting into the Prius, I had to sell the BMW and goodness... It was on market and the ONE and only customer turned out to be the buyer. I took a small loss, but, it was worth getting out. It seems like the German car market is dying fast.

    So, I found this.. got in it, and have been enjoying the car ever since. When I saw that a full was $20, instead of $20 for a quarter tank on the BMW.. and 400+ miles.. I was sold. I've had a few Gen II Prius before when I was renting them out for Uber. They were great as well, but, the feel of the Gen III is just so much better. It feels wider, safer, and lower. I'm happy to be in the Prius fam :D

    You're probably going to confuse a lot of folks with your screen name because there is new plug-in hybrid called the Prius Prime
