I finally got a Prius! WOO!!

I took delivery of a black 2007 package #2 Prius lastnight! :wub: OMG I finally have one! :wub: Booked an appointment with Stanley at Toyota of Kirkland at 6pm to view the inventory, and left a few hours later with a shiney new Prius. Great salesman, cool guy, easy to deal with; I'd recomend him to anybody needing a car.

So I'm retiring my Acura RSX-S from daily driver to full-out race car (I've been autocrossing it), and my Prius shall be my new daily driver. My commute often involves semis throwing tons of rocks onto me at freeway speeds (ARGH!!), so I invested in the full 3M chip protectant package (I think it was called Chipset or something) so that hopefully the rock damage will be kept to a minimum (the rocks are so bad that I need to repaint my RSX badly).

Sooooo, now I have to name my Prius! Suggestions?

I will post pics soon. I think I will also remove that outer cap thing on the rims. It might look better that way. Anybody know how to do it? Does it just pull off? I kinda looked at it this afternoon, but didn't really probe too hard to figure out how just yet. I also need to find an energizer bunny sticker like I saw on a grey Prius some months back. It was so cute! White outlines in the drawing style of those peeing Calvin stickers you often see on trucks, but this was the energizer bunny with his drum and drumsticks just sitting there looking at you. He was cute.

I got a pic just like that of me hugging my RSX right after I bought it. But I can beat Pixie's pic when it comes to my Prius.... I'm waiting for 3M clear film to be installed before I go hug my prius! Then I will go take a pic of me hugging it! 3M film prevents towel fuz from getting on my car (and scratches from my clothes & fingerprints)! And to make it all worse, I'm not even driving my car until that 3M is installed (on monday). How's all that for obsessing?

It's the same color as my other car; I seem to always end up with black. Very high maintnance color (especially here where it rains soooo much and soooo much pollen drops all over from spring thru summer). But ya know, as much as black gives me so much grief trying to keep it clean, it looks sooo hot when it's all washed and waxed! B) I like black!

Yep, I have noticed how these Prii seem to own their drivers! But it's ok, I'm used to being owned: I have a cat! (see avatar)

As for the clear bra, the color of my Prius is exactly why I got that extra! My Acura RSX-S is black, so I already knew what I was going to be in for. Being the only available Prius on the lot at the time of purchase, I couldn't choose another color. But that's ok, I got my Prius so I'm happy (everybody else is on a 2 month waiting list, according to the salesman). I'm glad I didn't have to wait for a specific package/color combo!

I'll honk and wave if I see and recognise you, for sure! I'm easy to spot: black 2007 with really short female driver (it will look like a kid at the wheel).

LOL, Wooo is an awesome name...

Grab and pull. Sweet. I like easy.... where's my Easy Button? *presses it* Ah, yes......

Sweet! I'll add it to my sig. B)

 

NoMoShocks: Ooooh, so they forgot to remove the protective trim rings! I see! LOL.

Dogfriend: But just in case they do broadcast to an alien race, should I also be wearing a tin foil hat so that they can't read my mind? *giggle* BTW, your dog avatar is adorable! Looks like he's laughing.


Yeah, those rings need to go. They'll go away within a couple days (just gotta get around to it). Just pull em off, eh? With my luck they will break.... but oh well.

:lol: Yes, can't be too careful. And it will also prevent tailgaters; sweet! :lol: OMG, LOL....

Awww, Dingo's so cute! Love all those pics. My dog's so old now that the most she does is cause everybody to trip on her......she's nearly deaf, nearly blind, old & sleepy, arthritic, and big. But well-loved.

Awww, your Penny is cute! My poor old dog is soooo abused by both my cat (see avatar) and my neighbor's cat (long-haird version of mine, same age). They always attack her and beat up her tail (cat: OMG, her tail moved! Kill it! *pounce*). Dog gets tons of sympathy wherever she goes (she thrives off that).

Thank you! I'm loving my prius so much.

Although not too hot for black over here, it is too full of green pollen and mud! My other car is black, and it gives me fits trying to keep it clean. But a washed & waxed black car looks very sexy, so I don't regret my color choice. B)

OMG, I like the racing saucers on that thread link! I'm tempted to try it....
