    169 miles past the Starbucks is a very large cattle farm. Do your own math for when you may want to roll up the windows.

    Also note the "limited space" means the USS Hornet tours are limited, so please arrive early !!!

    Good Afternoon PriusChat Folks !!!

    :):):):)

    There were some questions regarding if other Hybrid, EV, and other Alt Fuel vehicles were allowed to attend ... Here's an update regarding that :

    "This event is a tribute to NorCal Prius owners, funded by the dealers. Although any hybrid would qualify for the Guinness record, space is limited and Toyota wanted to ensure the best experience for Prius drivers."

    Hope this helps !!!

    Drive Safely Everyone !!!
