    Well, after a tough 4 month wait, it finally arrived early Friday morning! I settled on a Package #3, instead of the #4 I requested, and now, with reduced allocations, I think I made the right choice. The car has been extremely fun to drive, and all my friends are impressed by how hightech the car is, and all the gadgetry. I really like the color, a nice, cool silver metallic, and the new dash material. I'm getting 49.4 mpg so far, with only 250 miles on the odometer, so I'm quite happy, and looking forward to even better mileage as it breaks in! B)
    I thought I'd take a few photos, to send to my friends/family up North, and I thought I'd take a few closeups of a few of the new, 2006 features, for those that haven't seen them:
    The Chrome Grill
    New HSD Logo
    The Backup Camera
    Backup Monitor on Screen
    The new Auxilary Input Jack
    Auxilary Jack and Power Outlet
    And, some miscellaneous pictures:
    Interior
    Prius 1
    Prius 2
    Prius 3
    Prius 4
    And, yes, it does leak a lot less oil than my last car! :rolleyes:
    Enjoy!

    No dice! This one's a keeper! :p
    Did I say I'm loving driving this car? :D I'm used to driving performance/sports cars, and drive fairly aggressively, so the Prius is slowly correcting alot of my bad driving habits, just as my wife hoped. ;)
