    Hi folks,
    New member here. I spend a lot of time on the Usenet Toyota and Prius groups. I have been lurking here for a while and finally got my administrative stuff sorted out here so here I am.

    We have a 2007 package 2 blue Prius and love it. We get about 53 MPG here these days in western central NJ, using the foam grill blocking trick I picked up here.

    Be seeing you,
    Tomes

    Welcome to the group. The site has been slow recently, but improvements are on the way (or so I'm told).

    Yeah, actually last night I dropped off due to it being really slow. It is fine right now tho.

    Welcome! The site may be slow lately but I have never been accused of being fast either. :)

    Welcome to PriusChat, Tomes! Of course we think PC is great, but coming to it from the outside, how does it compare, in your opinion?

    How does it compare.... Hmmm.

    do not know yet really. The Usenet bunch knows each other pretty well - it is a relatively small community that actually posts regularly. No one knows me here yet. It does get really off topic there however and one just needs to be used to that. No OT here. It is the old structure versus nonstructure comparison on that.

    The thing is that there is expert folks in both forums. I will likely have more to say on this after my mental database builds up a bit ;).

    Thanks. I dare say that the more you read here you'll see we sometimes get WAY off topic... Which is a good use for
    :focus:

    And :welcome:
