    OK, I signed up and I got the confirmation email. Sputnik isn't on the website just yet though.

    A little secret... we all know each other. We've a VERY small community, so it isn't hard. Have a look at my Rav4EV gallery, and you'll see Dency on there with a scan of his Christmas card from a year or two ago:

    It is like pulling teeth to get these guys to send me pictures though! You'll see a couple of celebrities in there as well...

    There are MANY Rav4EV drivers who own a Prius as their second vehicle. I was like the last hold-out. :)

    Is it just me or are they screwing up the aspect ratio of many of these shots?

    Well I'm not sure what your image ration is, but yes, the horiz. aspect ratio is messed up. Looks like a stretch Prius.

    Too bad they are not cropping or leaving original aspect ratio.

    Sometimes the images are squeezed so bad that the prius looks like a smart car. http://go.ucsusa.org/hybridcenter/whosgot.cfm?OwnerID=64

    yup they squeezed mine so on the pda pic, you might be lucky. my pix was 2.5 MB and obviously they have a size limit. so it was altered to fit and they did not maintain the aspect ratio.

    obtw, my pic was in the standard format 1936 by 14whatever.

    Yeah, my Prius looks like a stretch limo in front, but then I'm glad the image wasn't squeezed so it looks like an itty bitty car...

    "image ration" is a bit like a ration of wise-nice person, but with more pixels. :)

    Nothing in the mail yet and earth day is coming up. If I get mine before earth day I might put it on for a few days. If not it will most likely go in the trash. or umm recycle bin :D

    Got my decal today and put it in the back window. There isn't really a great place to put the thing on the Prius and it's difficult to see through the tint, but it's a nice decal that has no adhesive so you can put it on and take it off as you like with no residual or harm to the car.

    Upper or lower back window? I was walking around the car last night wondering where it would best "fit."

    I put mine dead center in the lower window. You can put it on the upper window if you want the SUVs to see it. :) I might go out and change mine now that I think about it.

    I put mine on the upper window, just didn't think it would be visible at all on the lower.

    I just got mine two days ago- haven't decided where to put it yet (maybe on the rear bumper in between the "ExxposeExxon" and "Visualize Impeachment" stickers.

    They are- I made the mistake of including myself in my photo, and they made me look fatter :eek:
