    I saw the most depressing thing today at my dealer: A wrecked Prius. It was black, and almost brand new. The license plate started with 5H and and know that is pretty recent. The entire front bumper was off and the hood was bent up. It was very sad. :cry:

    I was leaving work near downtown Chicago on Aug. 18 (I think) and passed a Tidelands 2004 Prius parked nearby. As I looked at it, I noticed:

    1. A large scrape on the right rear wheel well (ouch!)
    2. The car didn't have its plates yet, just the frames from a north side Toyota dealer (name withheld)
    3. A temporary sticker indicating the car was sold that day!

    Double ouch! I hope things are going better for this driver now. Anyone here?

    Wow, luckily not me. I saw a Salsa at Navy Pier on Saturday and wanted to run up and hand out a PriusChat card but was with family and at the time carrying my niece.

    I drove downtown, though, and was fearful for my life and Priapus the whole time. I can certainly understand how a car can quickly get scratched up. I'll stay in the suburbs, thank you.

    On an upnote, I'm not a native Chicagoan and got totally turned around. Punched up the NAV and budda-bing got right out of there. Excellent!
