    As the subject line says, I'm new to the forum, and I just bought a 2009 CPO Prius two days ago. I'd been looking for a few months, trying to find one to fit my budget, and the right one finally showed up--and it's red! Color was never a factor in my decision; red is just a bonus :). I commute about 90 miles round-trip to work (usually 3 days a week; telecommuting the other days), so I'm looking forward to learning how to get the best gas mileage out of the Prius.

    My previous car (which I'll still be using for local trips--I ride horses and have to travel on lots of dirt roads to get to them) is a 2001 Camry, so even my base model Prius seems incredibly cool and high tech in comparison. I'm still amazed that I can unlock my door by touching the handle!

    In any case, I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions, but I'm looking forward to learning a lot here.
