    Grrr, so far to drive. I wish Prius owners in the Midwest would gather like this.

    You west coast people should come up to Minnesota next summer. We can find a cool place to gather, swat a few thousand mosquitoes, eat some good food and I can be there :)

    The first one has TSW Nurburgring wheels. The gold ones were XXR's. I was surprised that I was the only Barcelona Red. It was fun, next time i'll have my car actually washed, but with a trip to Norcal and Irvine within 3 days and a windshield replacement in between no time :(

    Great meet! It was great meeting all of you. Too bad I was late and missed the group shot. It seems So Cal Prius owners are a lot more into modding than Nor Cal folks. Mine is unmodded...

    Here are some links related to stuff I brought up. I probably forgot some and will post more later.

    465K miles on 2 fas 4 u's 09 Prius: 299,999+ Mile Club | Page 30 | PriusChat . He since's now got a Prius v wagon and is already past 100K miles on it. :eek: Prius v: 100,000 Mile Club | Page 4 | PriusChat is his odometer at 99,999 miles.

    1 million km (~621K miles) Prius taxi that needed new HV battery at 700K km (~434K miles): Hybrids prove very reliable | CTV British Columbia News

    Prius Connection Detroit stuff (I was so thankful to be invited. It was a great experience to be there.):
    PriusChat goes to Detroit for 2010 Prius debut | PriusChat
    Toyota posts 5 videos from Prius Connection Detroit on YouTube | Page 2 | PriusChat - too bad most of the videos have become private for some reason. This is the venue we were taken to in the evening w/3 2010 Priuses and later the chief engineer.

    ~110 mpg over almost 1400 miles in a Gen 2 Prius:
    Hybrid drivers complete run for mileage mark

    One of the drivers was world famous Wayne Gerdes (he runs cleanmpg.com).

    Wayne gave the woman at Wayne's Newest Vid | PriusChat an earful as part of his lessons. More info at
    Toyota of Yakima | Hybrid Event Wrap Up
    . It would've been interesting to be schooled by him. :)

    (I did meet Wayne briefly in Detroit at PCD. All of the major automakers w/hybrids in the US know him. He's been invited by Toyota, Honda, Ford and others to their events. Example: FORD TEAM AIMS TO DRIVE 2010 FUSION HYBRID 1,000 MILES ON A SINGLE TANK OF GAS | Ford Motor Company Newsroom. Final outcome at FUSION HYBRID AVERAGES 81.5 MPG, SETS WORLD RECORD WITH 1,445 MILES ON SINGLE TANK OF GAS | Ford Motor Company Newsroom. There are a bunch of YouTube videos of this.)

    One of the other people invited to PCD was Doc Willie. You can see his decorated Prius at Starfleet Command. He wore his Star Trek uniform to the 1st meeting we had in Detroit. :)

    I know some of you were asking about the Toyota designations (e.g. NHW11, NHW20, ZVW30, etc.) On Toyota's Japanese pages like http://toyota.jp/prius/003_p_005/spec/spec/index.html, they do refer to ZVW30 (aka 3rd gen Prius liftback).

    Google searches for stuff like site:toyota.com zvw30 and site:toyota.com zvw41, turns up a few hits. (ZVW41 is the Prius v wagon.)

    Anyone know the wheel/tire specs for the XXRs? Anyone know if they are 18s or 19s?

    Thanks! I did check out the site and are familiar with the wheels. Just wanted to know the specifics on what the guy was running. They come in a few different offsets and widths.

    Appreciate the info!
