:rockon:

 

Wow they look comfy..i wish i was closer i would love to adopt one.. From the picture i can see my lab/german shep.. is gonna have extra space back there..lol

 

Okay, I love the black Gen III Pri with the grey tree graphics!

 

What's not to love about it!

 

Check, check, post check.

Hey I got in!
I'm a newb with lots of Prius info (not really but I do drive about 60K miles a year).

Almost 70 MPG since May 1st and still learning.
I'm really not a hyper-M kind of person, but since I got my '08 I have learned A LOT! :thumb:

Wow ! That MPG is great. You must be a "natural" with near ideal conditions. I get my best MPG in the 40-50 MPH range with limited traffic and a warm day. Hills, lights, cold temps, short trips, and traffic are downers.
PC is a wonderful place to learn and support owners of the best car around. Prepare to spend some quality time at the screen.
:welcome:

 

49.2558 MPG on my first tank.

Need 3 more posts until I can post a photo, apparently.......

 

All of those MPG's are great if you look at what others who don't drive hybrids get! But I usually get 46 - 48 on my 2008 Pri so sounds like you are doing great. I get VERY excited when the tank gets more than 50 mpg. My lifetime overall is 46 point something. I just drive - keep up with rush hour traffic, etc. But as to needing 3 posts for a pic, I don't remember that.

 

Hello, this is the only thread I could find for just a greeting...

Last year I talked my parents into buying a 2008 Silver Prius with Leather and Nav. They are currently getting around 45 mpg, depending on who is driving.

On Saturday, we ordered our IV-SR in either Winter Gray or Black. I'm not sure what the average wait is, but I am not very good at being patient.

Anyway, hello.

 

hello. Your family has good taste in cars. do you have a photo, of the silver one?

You can introduce yourself in the Newbie Forum, or the main Discussion forum.

welcome

 

For those of you planning on hanging around Prius Chat for ahwile and who are interested in putting faces to names I invite you to post in our "What do you look like" thread located in Fred's House of Pancakes.

Hello all! Noob here, I just bought a 2004 Prius a month ago from a little old lady in Boulder. It had 15,000 miles and still smelled new. I got a great deal and am totally excited about the 46 and 47 mpg's I've gotten on the first 2 tanks of gas (and many more happy miles to go).

 

Sounds like a great deal. Enjoy and welcome to the community.

 

Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been poking around and it looks like there's a wealth of information here.

 

Sounds great. Any photos?
welcome

 

Here is my baby and 06 with pkg#5..... Got it used at 64k 3 days ago and I love it.

 

I did some work to it after I got it... pic attached. I've since installed door moldings and mud flaps (bought here).

How do I insert a thumbnail preview that can be enlarged? (nevermind it thumbnailed it for me) lol

 

Nice, looks shiny. I just got the side moldings in the mail on Friday. I'm going to get the mudflaps too.
thanks for the photo.

 

Thanks! They're both easy to install, just be patient with the molding. I made the mistake of using too much of that paint prep and it dripped down and prepped the paint where I didn't need it.
I thought it was an alcohol mix, so I wasn't in a hurry to wipe the excess. It wasn't a lot, but it ruined the paint with a drippy effect. Luckily you can't see it unless you're right up on it.

Now, I just need to get a better stereo. I can't hear it over the road noise.
