    ahhh, haha, another great use of the 'you' tag!

    (Of course, now Tag will be wondering if I typed the 'you' (you) tag...And it just goes on like that)

    Great pics Danny - I have yet to drive either of your cars in GT4, but am looking forward to both of them - right now I need to save up in the game for the '02 Prius, just 12,000 credits used!

    That was for you and tag, Matthew :)

    As a South Carolina fan, I hate all forms of orange (see Clemson-Carolina rivalry), but the orange is a very nice, burnt color. Much like the orange in the PriusChat logo (hmm..maybe I am a closet Orange lover - nahhh!!!).

    Ok, Wth is my name being used here? I'm not sure why Danny said what he said about being taken and including my name??? Just wondering...I mean I'm not gay...not that there's anything wrong with that (from Seinfeld!).
    Love my Prius.

    Glad you both like the element, not my cup of "tea", btw I'm taken also.
    like your sense of humor!

    What immediately came to mind was the "my other car is a rolls royce" LP frame. Perhaps, there can be a "my other car is a Prius" PriusChat sticker kinda thing.
    Just an idea.

    Ack, the 'you' tag is extremely disconcerting. finman, don't worry--Danny isn't hitting on you. There's some tag you can put in that whomever is logged in, they will see their username where the tag is.

    hhhmmm /scratches head

    Good to know you are taken. I am happily married to my wife for 10 years. (that has got to be worth at least a 10-min break from the honey-to-do tasks this weekend)

    Yeah what is up with the boxes on wheels? Honda Element and the Toyota Scion. Not my cup of tea either.

    People I work with call them toasters on wheels which I can see. Course they also joke around saying I drive a car that runs on Wesson so what do they know. :p

    I'm sure the Uglement is a fine vehicle... but it's still looks like a toaster. I do kinda like the orange though.

    Now the MR2 has got it all - looks, performance, quality. A friend had one (recently totalled - he's ok), great car. Now I call him Mr. 2.

    Being someone who's in his mid-to-late twenties, I think I can see why the car companies went with such designs as the Element and the Scion xB. I personally don't like them, but unlike my nephew who's 18, I remember the boxy cars that were on our roads back in the 80s. My nephew, who's grown up in the 90s & 00s, however, is 'used' to seeing all the new cars with curves and not seeing a new car that incorporates the older, box-y-er look.

    My nephew does like the look of the Element and Scion, I don't - this is just a guess though as to what was in the minds of the designers when building these. Maybe someday they'll tell us why. :)

    We should start a "Zinger" award and keep track of how many people we get to fall for the {you} tag :)

    Actually I almost purchased a blue Element... I was at the Honda dealership with my fiance ready to purchase the only blue Element on site when a very creepy salesman tried to screw me over!! I had with me tons of paperwork after months of research and the guy lied to my face over and over again. I was so upset we walked out and I immediately called my mom to complain. She finally convinced me to get on the list for a Prius, which I did. Haven't looked back since... my fiance, however, now wants an Element or the milk truck Scion. I'm trying to convince him to buy a Prius...

    :)

    Well, since Danny mentioned me in particular, I guess it is a good time to Zing him for never sending me my PriusChat sticker. At least I could put it on a beautiful Salsa Red Prius.

    Just don't use the Element as a family vehicle. Having to remove the seatbelts (driver and front pass) every time someone at the back wants to come out (or in) is rather annoying. Other than that, it's a useful vehicle.
