    If they want any hope of reaching 1000, they're going to have to update it it faster than they are. It's five days and they still only have the original 23 owners up.

    It's been about a week and I haven't yet seen my testimonial on the site. For that matter, there's no hybrid representation from Rhode Island. Shame on RI. :(

    This is the attitude that makes a lot of problems near impossible to solve. The "I will only support a solution if it is the perfect solution" attitude. Things become a problem gradually and by steps. Solutions to the majority of our problems will take a step by step approach. As long as we are headed in the right direction, I say lets all pull together.

    Well, they've updated it to 39 owners (from 29). I find it hard to believe in two weeks they only had 39 people register. Especially since I registered the first day but I'm not one of the 39 yet.

    I took a picture of my car in the garage, not outside with me standing next to it. Maybe that's why I'm left out.

    But if they're only going to post 1000 people with nice pictures, they may have a problem.

    If they really want to get 1000 people, they need to update a lot faster than they are. People are going to return to see if they're included (like me.) If they're not there, not only are they not going to pass the word to others to register, they're going to tell them not to bother. Very bad.

    BWT of the 39 hybrids, 16 are Prius gen 2.

    And look at the Priuschatter who made the cut:

    Hey Guys,
    I sent an e-mail to the web site's "Feedback" address regarding this issue. Here's the reply I recieved.

    Hi Evan. Because of our database configurations, we needed to save the confirmation for the online thank you screen (that served as confirmation that we received your testimonial). We are manually uploading each testimonial, so it will take us a little time to get to everyone. We will be emailing a confirmation when your picture and testimonial is actually up and posted, and will be sending the new window stickers within the next few weeks (they are being printed as we speak).

    Thanks very much for your interest and participation.
