January 17th 2005 update:
Well, the day is almost here, the car was unloaded this afternoon and is being prepared tonight and tomorrow morning. I am scheduled to go and pick it up tomorrow, 1-18-2005, afternoon, around 4pm. Almost 11 months waiting for what originally was to be a 7 month wait. Spending tonight getting all my papers togeather and ready to go. I have printed out everything I think I need from these forum, all the check sheets and user guides and have been doing lots of reading so I think I am ready.

Well its finally mine, just got home from the dealership after picking up my 2005 Prius. Everything went pretty good, the only surprise was that "ALL chicagoland dealerships get floor and cargo mats included as a standard accesory". Not really a problem, but I wish I had known ahead of time that I would be paying an additional $186 dollars for them, they do look nice so I didn't object to much to that one add on. I must say that the ride home was a little overwhelming with the navigation thing so I just shut that display off and enjoyed the quiet smooth ride listening to the radio. Thanks to all for their support through the almost 11 month wait I had, just glad its over now and looking forward to learning first hand about all the features of this car, so far so good though
