    Sup guys,
    Just picked up my 2011 Prius III Blizzard Pearl with the solar package and leather. The car was not at the dealer, so it was a surprise party when my ride showed up. I was not aware of the differences of the Blizzard Pearl vs the other white (I assume pure white?). Anways, the Blizzard Pearl metallic finish is sweet. I am glad I have this verses white (personal opinion). I only have about 30 miles under my belt, but it is quite a sprectrum change verses my Nissan Titan that I have been driving for 7 years. I have some initial observations, but I shall wait at least a week for it all to soak in before I give a feedback summary.

    I look forward to meeting some of you guys on here...I am in South Texas, not sure if anyone on here is from down in these parts. I already found a set of wheels I want to upgrade...I just need to decide on a tire now. The Prius´s eye candy scorecard goes up drastically with just a set of wheels from what I have seen within this forum thus far.

    Nice to meet you guys!

    WOO-HOO another south Texan! Congrats. You're gonna' love the solar vent. Looks like it's all ready tinted too as I'd certainly recommend that.

    You are aware that a car isn't a baby, right?

    Congrats! I agree. I like Blizzard Pearl over the standard "pure" white paints which look too plain to me (and frankly will always remind me of Budget rent-a-car). This white has a nice sheen to it. That being said, I have Blue Ribbon :p
