    Ok, I signed up too. Now I'll have both a Wolo Record-a-Horn AND and engine block heater to install. Wayne, you can't go anywhere without going through Albuquerque, just ask Bugs Bunny!

    I guess we must have hit the 50 Mark pretty solid. I just got my invoice, and it was only $39. I know Danny said he was going to wait until people actually paid before determining the final price, so I guess we must have gone substantially over 50.

    Now we can all afford to spend a little extra on Wayne's gas money. Ten installs around the country. I think if we each give him $20, and he drives his Prius, he should have gas $ to spare.

    Yep, that's right. We are very well on our way to 50, so I just went ahead and dropped the price for everyone. We are currently sitting at 47, and at this pace I think we can do 100 by the 19th. Too bad I can't get the price any lower :(

    All GCO invoices should be out now to those who PMed me their email address. Continue doing that for now - I'm going to work on a simple HTML page to make this faster/easier. I logged-in tonight with 58 PMs waiting on me :)

    Ok, I've created a simple HTML page for ordering.

    Order away!

    http://priuschat.com/ebh-group-buy.html

    I'll start working on finding out what the shipping date will be for the first group of buyers, and will try to keep everyone informed about the status of their order.

    Aw Hell....I just ordered too...probably worth the $40 just to replace the damaged cord on my current one.

    You like Rib Eye Wayne? Not that I need you, but I wouldn't mind a little of your DNA on my Prius!

    I think I still owe you a brew or two from Hybridfest anyway.

    When are you going to stay put? I was going to be up your way twice in the next month.....or you could just add Indy to your list of stops :)

    I'm interested, but since nobody has proposed a viable solution to me (keep a window open in New England in February? Yeah, right), I'll have to pass. Sorry!

    If you wnat your block heater installed (a little later) out East click here.

    When my EBH is installed, I plan on just using a long extension cord and sliding it underneath my door. I found out that the cord can fit nicely in the space and I'm able to close my door. I don't have a garage so this seems it's my only option. Hope that helps.

    <div align="left">Given the price, I am interested. I live in the (south) Bay Area, near San Jose. Given our generally moderate climate, would using the EBH be at all practical? I read how it could improve mileage even in the summer time. Are there any testimonials from those who live in similar climates?

    Are there any "howto" threads that would walk me through the installation. So far my Prius and I have survived an XM Radio and EV Button install. I will soon be replacing my horn. I would never call myself "handy" but I get by with the help of expert documentation... and kind friends.

    By the way, I assume that this part will fit a 2007 Prius. Or did I miss something?

    Thanks in advance for answers to any of my questions.</div>
