    I picked it up today at 4:45 in Pittsburgh and am staying in a hotel in Hillsville, VA. My first tank was 273 miles with an average of 44 mpg, mostly highway/hill driving. I also have been "testing" the VSC and windshield wipers all night. :rolleyes: I want to say more, but I've got to get some sleep and be back in Orlando by thursday night (thank god for cruise control).

    Just sign the register as 'The Prii Family' and explain sheepishly that you don't wear a wedding ring, and don't happen to have any luggage, either...

    Went to a car wash this afternoon and filled up the gas tank for only the third time.
    And for those who wanted pics:

    ^And there she is.
    The flight on Wednesday from JFK to Pittsburgh was really bumpy because of that cold front that passed through. But the drive was even worse, I drove through thunderstorms, fog, rain, high winds, and many brightly colored leaves at night on mountain roads (RT 19). However, the tires never lost grip and the VSC light never had to come on. The drive through Florida wasn't much better, there was dense fog and a lot of fender benders slowing things down.
    So far, the only problem with the car has been the dash warp problem seen below.

    I got the dealer to take $400 off to get it fixed, but I would like to know if there is anyone in Orlando that can do it cheaper or how I can fix it myself. Also, how can I find my lifetime mileage, because the consumption readout resets everytime I fill up the tank.
    Oh, did I forget to say HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS CAR!!!! :D
