    Yesterday, Oct. 21, marked the 4 year anniversary of getting my Prius.
    Pic of me the day I took delivery...
    [​IMG]

    I've now gone 67,000 miles in my Prius and my lifetime MPG is about 55mpg.
    But I had no idea the day I took delivery how involved in the entire Prius movement I was to become. This post is #10,000 for me here at Priuschat. There are at least another 3-4000 posts of mine scattered in other prius and hybrid and related forums as well. I still look forward with as much eagerness to drive my car and participate in this forum today as I did 4 years and 10k posts ago.

    This has been and continues to be a great community of interesting people. While I get thanks and gratitude for my help quite often here I can assure you that it's all been repaid to me in spades.
    Thanks all, looking forward to another 4 years or so with the Prius...probably be a while before I hit another 10k posts though!

    Funny looking hood ornament. Mine didn't come with one. Should I check with the dealer?

    Naaah. He just took it too seriously when some SUV owner told him to take his hybrid and shove it up his @$$.

    It is what your kids are doing when you get called in to the ER at night.

    Sleep must be what you're doing while you're posting to Priuschat. When else would you have the time to post? I hope you're not doing it in the ER! :D
