    droppin by to say hello, and introduce myself

    my name is Coi, im a car enthusiast and been in the tuner industry for a long time, i own several cars and currently belong to several car forums

    obvious reason to purchasing the prius: gas is only getting more expensive
    not so obvious reason: a drive average of about 100miles/day
    why touring: need nav and BT, leather is a must, suspension/wheel tire combo cus i do mostly freeway driving for the extra stability, all other options are a good extra but not necessary
    why super white: i love the color red on cars, but since the red on the prius is not red enough, white is my second fav color on cars...easy to maintain, timeless, and blends in

    been lurking here for a couple of weeks, decided to register after my purchase

    just purchased today, took most of the day, from a trade of my 05 scion xa, and want to give Cerritos Toyota some props for helping me pull it off!!!

    got myself an 08 Super White touring package with tan leather interior, 10 delivered miles

    i probably have a lot of questions will post once i get some thoughts back in my head, still a lil excited from the purchase hehe

    will post pics soon!

    glad to be officially part of the community...go green

    thanx

    mod update

    -replaced all interior lights with LEDs
    -replaced lic plate lights with LEDs
    -made an appt with starshield armor for pkg A + rear bumper guard
    -going to do the tint 2morow

    and just for kicks and giggles removed the touring hubcaps, just wanted to see how it looks with out, i think i like it better with it on, and will order CE28ECO when the OEM tires wear out.

    2weeks of ownership already logged 1800+miles, averaging 42mpg 95%freeway at 75-80mph cruising speed
    :D
