    Send a PM to the Prius Team. Tell them where you are and how you can be contacted.

    Here's what the 3rd Generation 2010 Prius wildflower seeds card looks like (front and back):

    And here's another shot of that Prius stainless steel water bottle (it sure is pretty ... ):

    It seems to me that if someone wants one of these water bottles, they can PM the Prius Team with one of my photos and inquire about getting one (for free or money; FYI re costs, this 16 ounce bottle without the Prius logo is made by ecousable and retails for around $13). Or if it's among the swag given out at all Prius Connection roadshows, they might apply to and attend a roadshow (like the upcoming one in Chicago) and pick one up there.

    Now I'm crying. I want a water bottle!
    I might see if I can buy one locally. Not interested unless it has the Prius logo though.
    What is the capacity?

    According to the ecousable website, it's 16 ounces (473 ml) , which is smaller than the 700 to 750 ml size I'd ideally want.

    I think you're going to have to ask the Prius Team or your Chicago friends for one more kindness.

    jk... heck, i probably only use at gym to show off anyway... i only sip water most of the time when working out. i usually go to conditioned water fountain to get it colder straight from the spigot when i need a real drink... right now, i only used the supplied paper cups which are only about 5 oz...

    I bet it's the perfect size for the cup holders in the Prius!! Important for Prius drivers to keep hydrated!
    Boo I have had my share of kindnesses and then some! I couldn't ask for more than I have already got, but that don't stop me wanting more.

    well you say you couldnt ask, but that appears to be an inaccurate statement... now since a cop, i am sure you have asked many people to clarify their statement...

    so i ask of you the same...

    I'm not a cop.
    I want but I didn't ask.
    I expressed a desire, I haven't and wont ask for more free stuff.
    If it happens to arrive, so be it but I wont ask for it.

    Don't mis-quote me, I said I want the stuff, but I'm not asking for it.
    When I tell my wife I want sex, I'm not asking HER for it!

    Actually PCD was finished up prior to the Detroit auto show. Of the 3 dozen or so invitees, there were only a small numberl that stayed behind a few days to see the show ... but lodging was on their own dime if they did that.

    I was invited to Chicago but I didn't see anything about pre-ordering. Can someone help?

    If you want to pre-order best bet is to go to your local dealer. emails have been sent out some time ago for those eligible to participate in the TMS (toyota motor sales) pre order program. Getting an invite to one of the events has nothing to do with the pre order program.

    Try sending an email to Toyota Marketing and ask if you can be added to a Priority Order List.
