Join Danny in Chicago for his Prius pick-up (finally!)

Danny or TonyP, do we have any firm date on this? How about times and stuff like that?

I know it was said we are leaning toward Sunday but I don't think I've seen anything official.

thanks,
Phil

Looks like the event is going to be on Sunday...Danny just updated the original post to include:
"UPDATE: The event will be held Sunday in order to accomodate for space."

Sounds like there are going to be quite a few people there!

 

Wow. I'd never seen the "history" post, so that right there was worth the read! If Chicago were just a couple thousand miles West, I'd be thrilled to attend... but it isn't to be. I'll even be MORE west (in Hawaii) at the time, so it just can't happen.

I do have a Prius Warming gift for you though. It will light up your life.

 

Wow! Congrats Danny! I'd love to drive all the way to Chicago for the event, but there's a little thing like work in the way. I do hope that folks post pics and comments about the event.

I'm sure that your trip to Haway is to get aquainted with other "LED nuts" near the lava crater!!!

Sorry but I can't hang around for a week waiting in the Mid West to attend the 2006 Hybridfest fallowing Sunday. Anyway, congratullations for the long awaited Prius arraival

 

Given that the '06es still have the same problem, any inclination to
dive under the brandy-new Prius with a wrench and do the blockoff-
plate fix, per http://techno-fandom.org/~hobbit/cars/starthole/
right then and there with the TV cameras rolling?? That might
finally drive the message home to Toyota...

Like others, it is a trip I would like to make, but can't. Who will run the board the first few weeks after you get your Prius and want to spend all your time playing with it You know, there is plenty of room in the Prius for you, Nichole AND Tim. He can save the airfare home

I agree with the thought that Toyota ought to give you a Prius. I'm sure we have proposed this before. While not every Prius sold has a connection to Priuschat, I'll bet a LOT do. I read everything here for 8 months before ordering in July 2004. I just wanted to make sure there weren't any big issues with the redesign. MANY people have told me I should get a commission when I tell them all the features (and I do go on and on, and well ON!). Were it not for Priuschat, a lot of people would be getting information from (STILL) frequently uninformed salespeople. They might have chosen a different car without the answers, validation and assurances from PC members. I knew WAY more than my dealer, partly because he had NO chance to do more than move a new Prius to the front of the lot for delivery.

My sister, wife, 2 of her cousins and several friends have purchased a Prius in small or large part because I had one and was able to give them a lot of information. Frankly, I'm not sure where I would have learned a lot if it, even owning a Prius, had I not found Priuschat.

 

Congratulations Danny, I wish I could make it. Maybe when you get it back to Columbia we will pass each other on the roads.

Yes I have been absent here, thanks to no particular reason that I can mention.

Cough - car accident - cough.

If Amy goes I go. So what is it Amy will you go?

 

danny!

Congrats! Doubt I can make it to Chicago BUT would be happy to salute you enroute back home if possible.....

Maybe you should post your planned route... what a gas for you to see your priuschat buddies along the way!

Danny,

Can we get a list posted as to who is attending? It is kinda hard to figure out who is coming. There are several "I'd like to attend but I live in Calf." posts. And others that are really going to come.

I plan to come but I need to know the times on Sunday, July 16th. I live near Joliet so it will take me awhile to drive up there.

1. Any events planned (i.e. - judging, games, etc.)?

I just got an '02 Prius on Monday. And love it. This would be a great opportunity to meet some other Prius owners and learn more about them. As far as I know my wife doesn't have anything planned for me to do on the 16th. So count me in.

Mike

 

Danny,

Congratulations from Hershey, Pa.

Your efforts in starting and maintaining the www.priuschat.com website is greatly appreciated. Would like to know if you are incurring any special costs to maintain the site? If yes, would appreciate contributing to the website.

If you get to drive the GS, make sure you are able to take it to a place where you have lots of room. With the 0-60 time of 5.2 seconds, it is a bummer to be confined to city streets and stoplights.
