    count em - FOUR within ONE block. First my neighbor on the left about 3 house down has a blue 2004. Then I got mine in Jan (black) - then a lady on the same side of the street about 7 houses down just got a white and 2 weeks ago my neighbors got a silver!

    On the East Coast it might be. I'm convinced that in some parts of California you can find 4 at one house. :)

    One of the psychiatrists here where I work claims that there are 7 in his neighborhood. Some dating back to "the first year" they came out.

    He owns one from 2002. This is in an area of about 4 blocks.

    My parents live on a culdesac. While no one who lives there owns one, I visit regularly and whenever I do I notice the house on the corner has a silver one parked there. His son owns it, daughter-in-law uses it for long commute. They don't live there but also visit their parents quite often. So that's two among 12 houses.

    That reminds me of when I picked up my EV switch from a local Ebayer. He told me to look for a white Prius at the meeting point and he was running late. Before I got a call about him being late, I noticed a white Prius diagonally across the intersection, so I went to see if that was him. Nope, just another random white Prius... After I went back to the meeting spot and noticed another white Prius in the parking lot across the street! Another random one! Finally the guy arrived, so there were 3 white Prius all around the same intersection! So much for looking for a white Prius to uniquely identify him... :p

    Man, that Google Earth really does a great job. That was the search:map:prius command, right?

    :crazyeyes: That guy's nuts! :crazyeyes:[/align:dc6a7bdf6c][/b][/quote]Actually, you are kind of right on this, tho he always meant well. I found out he had a Prius after I got mine, and I was a bit embarrassed to be in the same "club" with him.

    But 7 in one neighborhood can't compare to Rocco's 4 on one block.
