    Hype! Mine is getting to the dealer 18th- 22nd and I already have a buyer for my old 2005 Prius. In the meantime, after I sell my Prius, I'm going to borrow my dad's Prius while I wait for mine. Lol

    Congrats and welcome to the "we are still learning club". But it looks like you may have a head start with all the info in this forum. I bought in blind and then came back to this site. And very glad I did! :D(y)

    Amazing, eh?

    The line after that in the movie is what I don't want to have anything to do with: Doc Brown tells Marty, "burn it!"

    I'll get some more pictures as soon as I get a chance, which unfortunately might not be until the weekend... Gotta finish up a projects at work before Friday...

    Sorry for checking out there for a while. Had to do all the paperwork at the dealer, then we went to Rudy's (BBQ to celebrate), then to Central Market (not only for an excuse to drive, but also because we actually did need to buy some stuff (really! :)).

    Other than what I just did, which is plug it into our 240V charger here at home for a 9:05 departure time with climate prep, what I like most about it is all of its wonderful active-safety, and driving-convenience features! First and foremost, DRCC, but also the automatic rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlight on/off/low/high, all of which I got a chance to try!

    Sure is considerably quieter than our 2009 Gen-2, even with the engine running. Not super-ultra-quiet, but definitely considerably quieter. The suspension is also a lot smoother, and I presume that the big battery helps that.

    I'm glad it came with Bridgestone Ecopia Plus tires, by the way. When I changed into those about a year ago on our 2009, it went up ~8MPG or so! No, really; big increase! Of course, some of that was just because they're newer. The downside though is that they play pavement texture like a phonograph needle (exaggerating, of course)! Tire noise went down, but road noise went up.

    Definitely get the tint done! Makes the large screen have less of a glare too!
