    I was in a parking lot in Nashville today, and in one row, there was six Prii! It was wonderful! Outside of Nashville is pretty country, but in and around the city there is so many hybrids, plug-ins, and electric cars. It's fantastic!

    We'll be passing through sometime in June on a cross-country trip. I'll keep an eye on the thread for dates and times to see if we can join you.

    Thank you. We were very fortunate to find this one after the blue one was totaled. This one is much nicer.

    Does yours have leather? If so, that was my favorite combination of that generation. Red, the touring wheels, and tan leather.

    Yes it does. It looks very nice but the seats aren't all that comfortable on long drives. We are considering getting the padding in them replaced with memory foam. We had memory foam in a 2007 Nissan Versa and those seats were excellent on cross country trips.

    That's a great idea! You'll have to keep me updated on that. I'd love to see the outcome

    We decided to try foam cushions instead of reupholstering. New seat cushions with great lumbar support were only $14.99 each at a local Costco closeout outlet. We already had some memory foam seat cushions for another car so we'll take them all on the trip and see what combinations work the best. July 1 we start our 5,600 mile road trip. :)

    To get the thread back on track, we should be passing through Nashville on I-24 en route to Ringgold, GA sometime between July 13 and 16.

    Do any of you happen to know of someone who works on Gen 2 Prius batteries near Henderson, Tennessee? Thank you.
