    I have a million "thank yous" to post but for now, a huge thank you to Rodney for all your help and this fantastic wrap-up of TGB4. I really appreciate all the effort you put into it.

    Rodney., thanks for your photo story. It is very valuable for these of us, who are too far from West coast.

    It was a blast! All very nice people!

    Event was well done and planned well. I liked having Vendors there to check out the products.

    The OEM Sound guys are the way to go if you want a factory type upgrade.

    The RAV4 EV was VERY strong! Felt like a supercharger engine.

    Danny and Russell, TGB4 was great! Thanks for all your hard work and making this such a useful and fun "convention". I loved meeting the other Prius owners and the venders and the Toyota folks were top notch. Getting to drive the Rav 4 was very special. You might want to tell the folks who want the next meeting closer to their home how far some of us came this time. Cinder's mom--

    Rodney's photos are great. I'd like to contribute a few more to continue the story.

    It was nice to see the interest in Prius customization. Although some of the results do not meet my taste, the customization options help Prius to be attractive to younger demographic groups which is required for the ongoing health of the Prius brand.

    Thank you! We enjoyed meeting everyone, having our questions answered and learning about our Prius'.
    We hope to attend next year and will strongly recommend the ToGoB4 2014 to other owners! We are
    now getting acquainted with the ins and outs of PriusChat and enjoy the shopping for accessories!
    We've recommended PriusChat to other Prius Owners - it is wonderful to have other owners out there to
    give us advice. Thank you for opening up a whole new Vista to us!

    Just saw this and will send your message on to Sarah, she's asleep. I know she really enjoyed spending time with you, your sister, and the pups. I'm sure she'll be sending you a "shout out" in the morning!
