    I received my Prius yesterday evening after nearly 11 months. It was worth the wait.

    One problem though: Does anyone else have a shaking mirror with the equalizer slightly boosting the bass and the CD player audio control set to MAX?

    I love this car! Is there a support group for driving addiction?

    People asked me what I would name my car, and I said that it couldn't be contrived. The name would have to come to me, and it did. Her name is Barbarella, after the movie where Duran Duran got their name, and their single in 1997, Electric Barbarella.

    This is the first car I've owned since 1991 that did not have at least 100K on the odometer. This one came with 3 miles.

    Thank you everyone for reading, and giving me a place to sound off.

    Yes, the inside vibrates a bit if you crank the volume up. Never go past 50 much, myself...

    Congrats on your new car!

    Well, most mirrors will vibrate with the bass and volume up :wink:

    Be glad that it's just your mirror.

    My wife and I literally laugh out loud every time a thumpin' base is drowned out by the metalic rattles emminating from the various external parts of the car. Sounds like crap.
