    I bought my car on April 8, 2005 and joined as soon as I got home.

    We're both a year old.

    Wow, it has been quite a year.

    I love my car and have never regretted buying it. Not of a moment. I never want to drive any other car, ever. I will never go back to a conventional gas guzzler.

    I'm so spoiled. (And so is my Avatar.)

    Congrats! You should put a little bib on the grill and run over a small cake.

    I bought mine 2 years ago on March 25 and nowadays every thing else is just, well, Priustoric. I've turned the corner just like you!

    Sounds like a good time to wash and wax your PRIUS as a birthday present. :lol:

    Mine will be a year on April 16th (although the car was "born" in March), with the membership about a week later. Happy First Anniversary to you as well. :)

    Yes. We spent "birthday" all day at my parents' house helping them out. Today is relax day. But I'll be doing a full detail this week, spread over several days. But I also have to do my taxes and get my tax rebate.

    My Prius will be one year old on 4/14/06 (Friday). Looks like I am in very good company indeed! I cannot think of any other car that I would rather own, unless it might be the '06 prius with it's MP3 player port and back-up camera! Maybe by the time I am ready to purchase my 2nd Prius Toyota will have converted that annoying interior back-up beep to an audible exterior back-up beep!

    Priapus really enjoyed his first birthday when my wife and I burst into the garage with a cake and yelled "SURPRISE!!"

    How about a Prius birthday club???

    We could put up a little calander and everybody put in their Prius' birthday, as in the day you took delivery :)



    I'll start, ours is June 1, 2005

    I've seen instructions on doing that. You remove the reverse beep and add a beeper in the back. There's even one from J.C. Whitney that says (in either English or Spanish), "This car is backing up!" :D

    Congrats God....

    Mine is almost a year old...

    Some part of me regrets it though, and longs for the massive gas guzzling truck I traded in for it. Back in December, I TRIED to do it, but just couldn't bring myself to do it... I think it's much like the "OK" girl you didn't really want to go out with, then she starts to grow on you...

    Another April Prius Birthday! Our Super White celebrates its 1st birthday on the 26th.

    19.5k miles and a consistent 52mpg. This baby rocks!
