    I wanted to take a moment to announce that the 5,000th order through the PriusChat Shop has been processed! In order to celebrate, Ken Hoang's order of ExactMats will be shipped free of charge!

    Thank you to everyone who has purchased their Prius accessories through the PriusChat Shop over the years. We look forward to improving the Shop and continuing to serve the Prius community for years to come!

    Congrats!

    Out of curiosity, do you generate enough revenue from the ads and the PriusChat Shop that you are able to quit your day job yet?

    Actually, I didn't make a big announcement about it, but the first week of October was my last week at my day job, and I'm now working on PriusChat and a couple of other ventures full time. I've been able to save up some money over the last couple of years, so now I'm going after my entrepreneurial goals head on. Right now the site doesn't produce enough income to pay for both Nichole and I to work full-time on PC, but I'm hoping that with the right amount of work in the near future we'll be able to have enough income from my ventures to support us.

    Hello, Dr. Fusco. How about we talk about it at your lake house one weekend? :lol:

    BTW, I forgot to say this sooner - I hate Darren McFadden.

    Congratulations, Danny. I hope you will be offering more products on Prius Chat Accessories soon. As you can tell by my mods, I am a good customer.

    By the way, on the bottom of your posting, your signature, offers an extended Service Plan for $670 (I think this is for maintenance service). I have contacted Troy and his is $870. Which is correct?

    Great job Danny! We can say we knew you when.
    Now, what can you do to get those pesky lithium ion batteries going so we can get one of those Hybrid X's?

    You're welcome ANY time my friend!

    323 yards...do you see that 323 in your sleep at night!? SC was aware Ark. has no passing game right? You're supposed to play against the run...maybe text the coach there!

    How long does it take these days to get an order shipped from the PC Shop? Do you post any updates on the order site or elsewhere, email?

    Re: 5,000 orders through the PriusChat Shop!

    Congratulations Danny ! I just received my third order from Prius Chat yesterday. The 2010 Prius Heat Shield.

    This is my third order and all three have been delivered right within the delivery window given at time of acceptance of order. The email updates were right on time.

    Thanks
