    I just wanted to say hello.. been trolling the forums for the past month. A tree fell on my 2003 Ford Focus while I was driving during the big NE Storm on March 15th. I have to say, that Ford focus saved my life and limb, walked away without a scratch.


    The good news was that I could finally get my DREAM CAR, a 2010 Toyota Prius. I've love every minute of it, it's totally changed the way I drive!

    I was kind of a gearhead, modding my ford Focus (within reason) however I think I'll be keeping my Prius stock. The mods I did to my Ford got old after a while and I eventually considered them to be a waste of money.

    Anyhoo, Cheers and Howdy!! :whoo:

    Welcome to PriusChat. Mod fever affects some folks in this group. Beware.
