    It was the first time I had been waved at or waved back. I am going to start right now though, adding it to the finger I give every H2, H3 and escalade.

    Saw two on vacation. One classic silver, one black sand pearl. Always a thrill to see another C on the road!

    We are going on vacation next week and I plan on counting how many C's I can spot. The last vacation I went on I saw one I think. LOL

    It's funny, I'm seeing liftbacks everywhere now... even right near where I live (and we're not realllly Prius territory 'round these parts). There's one that lives on the street near the bottom of the redevelopment I'm in and tonight I saw one parked on the street near the top. I do frequently drive in areas I'd consider Prius heartland and I'm always on the lookout... but it's just liftbacks, liftbacks and more liftbacks.

    I'm starting to fear that when I finally spot a c I'm going to be so distracted that I'll end up having an accident. :oops:

    Saw a white prius yesterday! So far no waves even when we wave (maybe they are watching their fuel monitor), Ha!

    My husband and I did a trip from Utah to Michigan and back. Hit the following states visiting family and friends: Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Missouri, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan. Saw a white regular prius about every 10-15 minutes on the interstate (and about every other color in between). Only 4 prius C's the entire trip:

    A habanero in Kansas City outside a hole-in-the-wall dealership
    A white Prius C in Chicago we ended up pulled up behind getting back to the interstate
    A gray on the interstate somewhere in Iowa
    A habanero driving down the street in the Chicago Suburbs

    There was a blue, but I forgot to look and see if it was smiling or frowning so I'm not 100% sure if it was a C or a yaris.

    saw more V's than C's strangely enough.

    Well colour me surprised. :eek:

    Turned into the driveway ramp at home tonight and there was a vehicle ahead of me waiting for the security door to finish opening. That vehicle ahead of me was a White Prius c, base model! :D

    April registration, so it must be quite an early one, that's when they went on sale here. How exciting... of all the places to spot one! It parked in a spot for the next building over. (y)

    Saw a super white C today at the mall. I was so excited! Managed to snap a few pics of it. Jealous of the alloys :)

    Makes me think of the old Volkswagen spotting game my sisters and I used to play when Mom took us on long car trips (waaaaaay back in the old days before you could watch movies while in the car). A bug was worth 2 points, a red bug 5 points, a van 10 points and a RED VAN a whopping 15 points. So....2 points for a C and 5 points for one the same color as whatever you are driving? :)

    I saw a red C heading east on Route 25 in Massachusetts last Saturday, just before the turnoff for the bridge to Cape Cod. I pulled alongside him twice, but he didn't even look at me.

    Saw a habanero today in Westerville. Think it is the same one I saw a week or so ago. Waved, but she was busy trying to turn :-(

    LOL. Was the white C trying to avoid the toll? Learning to fly?

    More seriously:
    -poor guy/girl at the booth as a flyng car was going toward her/him.
    -Glad to see all the airbags were deployed
    -hope the blame is not on a runaway Prius

    Sent ?

    I thought the side airbags where supposed to deploy only when the car was T-boned...

    Anyway... Yesterday saw what looked like a greyish-blue c on my way back home. It was driven by an older gentleman and he was in a *hurry*.

    I guess the c is becoming very popular around here...

    Ouch, the poor c. :eek: Hopefully everyone's OK and could walk away from that one.
    I wonder if they were trying to get over to the lane marked "c"?

    "The SRS curtain shield airbags may also deploy in the event of a severe frontal collision".
