    Purchased the V a week ago and the week wait on shipping to Texas was difficult. Picked her up today and it was so super driving it home. Pardon the OUTBURST, I just had to let someone know how I enjoyed it. The ride was great and so much look forward to the saving. mmmm Already rationalizing a few things. The woodgrain inside and the blinker on the mirrors are on my mind.

    Thanks for listening.

    Love that Girl!

    Thank you for the comments, Yes, I have utilized the site for much information. I find it interesting to browse before turning in each evening. The many members are so enjoyable and very helpful.

    I took me 7 years of commuting 112 miles at day to finally learn. That could have been a bit of change in the bank.

    Thanks!
    Michael

    Reminded me of my very fist Priuschat avatar. I was on the waiting list for seven months and it represented my mood.

    Thank you for the update reminder and hospitality! There have been so many nice members in the forum.

    I bought my Golden Goose (Gold color) in a large auction with 1830 miles on it. Someone had it 5 mo months before the repo. It then came with no manuals and one key. The manuals I ordered from E-bay were in the mail today. Now I have a place to answer the many questions I've had. Next is order another key then tint the windows.

    Did not realize it would be such a bucket of fun to drive!
