    I'm not a big C+W fan but that was great,
    Was that Patrick Warburton from Rules of Engagement playing the car salesman?

    Similar to others ... Hybridfest, Prius Connection Detroit, and local meetups. And of course, FireEngineer's traveling engine block heater road show.

    I met quite a few regulars here thanks to Prius Connection Detroit. It was impossible to get to know all ~50 attendees THAT well, but it was great nonetheless.

    I wanted to echo patsparks' comment. PCD will always be a highlight of my life as well.

    We will all be friends until the 2010 Prius hits the lot then it's every man/woman for themselves fighting to the death for a set of keys.

    I am sure it will be tough to get one in California or Oregon with winebuff bribing all the salesman with fancy grape spirits. :D:D

    I think having one of the first in AZ may make me a bit more popular amongst Gen II owners looking to see the differences. Otherwise, I'm not sure the 2010 would make any difference. :p

    Carlo Russo Wine and Spirit World in New Jersey.

    Havent seen it in Oregon or heard of the distributor but here is the distributor info who carries it I found online:

    I've had the rather enjoyable opportunity to meet several of the find PCers at ChicagoLand events and at PCD. You can see me in the photo Hill posted. I'm the one in the rather bright green sweater -- between two beautiful women and right behind HTMLSpinner!

    I also have had the honor of having my garage serve as a stop on Wayne's EBH world-wide tour.
