    I've been reading the forums for a while, trying to decide whether or not to take the plunge... so, finally decided to give up my 2005 benz S430 and picked up an 05 Tideland green with the #6 package. So, the adventure begins! Can't believe how hard it was to get a car in L.A. without a huge mark-up... but finally got it!

    Congratulations!! And welcome.

    Hopefully you'll love your new Prius, and forget all about that Benz.

    You mentioned you've read the forums for a while. If you haven't checked them out already, the Knowledge Base articles are a big help.

    See ya around the board!

    Yeah... 2005 S430... luckily I'm in Los Angeles, the Prius carries a better cache with my clients than an $87k benz... strange little city we live in

    Welcome! I've got your car's twin in Arizona, though it was "born" about a month before yours.

    And I know what you mean about LA! Lived there, done that. ;)

    Agree, it's really funny. In my area people love their MBs, MB SUVs, etc., but the Prius gets even more envy.

    Consider getting the XM radio - traffic reports for LA area excellent and you don't have to listen to the big AM outlets with continuous mortgage commercials!

    I have the Tideland Pearl #6 also and get many compliments about the color.
