    OK here is my suggestion. Morse code for the letter "P"

    .--.

    which is to say, dih-dah-dah-dit, or short long long short.

    better ideas will follow in subsequent postings...

    It may take some practice at first, but I think it's doable. :wink:

    Morris Code?

    Gosh! I remember learning Morris code from my Webelos Troop. Dash Dot Dash Dot, that's 'SOS'!

    No, it's Morris.

    Remember that this site is has tons of cat lovers who all have a strong affinity for Morris the cat, of 9 Lives cat food fame (Who coincidentally, looked like priusham's avatar...).

    I think VWChat.com has that one. :-D

    I think that if Prius owners are going to start recognizing one another by passing Morris Code, we might as well start with the obvious, "I'm a nerd" What's code for "exclimation point"?

    Just a short BEEP.

    Because we've digitally encoded "P-R-I-U-S-C-H-A-T" into one 2-byte octave. :mrgreen:

    I always hesitate to honk at other Prii in traffic, I'm afraid I will scare someone. I don't want to do that.

    I just wave. A lot. And hope they notice.
