    I've also been surprised how many people I've had to explain it to...and how many people think I have to plug it in at night!

    Anyway, I've seen few others since I got mine, but one day last week there was some horrific traffic getting on the tollway, and a red Prius let me in :) He was right behind me most of the way to my destination. It was kind of fun. I can imagine a caravan!

    I guess if you are in CA it's hard not to caravan since there are sooooo many of us there!

    If there's a convoy of Prii, why not tailgate each other and rotate the leader every so often, just like cyclists do. I wonder how high your mpg would go then? Perhaps someone can try that on a track ;)

    There's usually a few parked near the meters near Magnolia and Lankershim. You are missing around 10 or so hidden away in a parking garage near there. :) I stopped counting.

    I do see a few driving around sometimes too, and with increased frequency.

    However, I live in manicured lawns-land (even in this heat wave), and I'm still the only Prius in my neighborhood. The rest prefer their luxury cars and SUVs.

    I had caravan or motorcade with another 35 in this past weekend in Madison,WI.
    The 2006 Hybridfest was a BLAST!!! ;)

    I am just up the road from you in Brookings and we have at least 5 or 6 in town (soon to be 7, I hope :D ). It's fun to see so many in a small town...

    This isn't on the road, but I parked at an organic market the other day next to a Classic. When I came out, the Classic was gone, but on my other side was an HCH and another classic, with a Gen2 on the other side of the [quite small] parking lot. :)
