MegaMPG's Introduction.. Meet my Blue Ribbon

Hey guys!

I just wanted to check in and introduce myself. My name is James, I am 20 years old, and I just leased my first Prius.

Before owning the Prius, I owned a 2004 Audi A4 3.0 v6, 2004 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4x4, and a 2005 BMW 330ci.

Recently I just hit 100k on my BMW, and with gas prices rising ever so quickly, and driving 12k a year I was in the market for a new car. While I searched all over for a good gas-sipping euro coupe, the fact was their was none out there. During my search I ran across an ad in the paper for 2010 Prius clearance sale. I told myself all my life I would NEVER, EVER drive a prius. Well, I walked into the dealer, test drove it, and 2 hours later drove out with it! It drove so nicely, and was overall a great car I couldn't pass it up! I decided to lease it for 3yrs, and with $4,500 down, my payments are a little under $160 a month for it, so I cant complain.

Now having owned it for three weeks and slapping on its first 1,000 miles I am in love with it. I from time to time drive my Audi and BMW and I am shocked to say this but, I enjoy the Prius drive better!

Now let me show you my baby. She came from the dealer with Bluetooth, and the illuminated door sills. I personally have installed the fog lights, 5000k HIDs, and the rocker panels. My buddy did me the favor and tinted it for me; 35% on the windows and 5% on the rear glass. I also had him put new rear speakers in since the OE ones were terrible.

 

Yes I switched the order of the switches because at night since it doesn't glow, I could never find it. So this way I can just run my fingers down the mirror switch and then know to move over to the right.
