    Hello PriusChat. My name is Anthony, I am a 22 year old college student who just brought home my first Prius and I love it! Just an amazing car imo. Not only excellent mileage but they look awesome as well. If there are any local prius owners that like to meet up near me(Upland, Ca) feel free to message me. I have yet to fully divulge myself into the forums yet so I have not found the regional forums, but I am trying and learning!

    Thanks!!

    I got a lump sum of money as a child, so I bought my first car at 16 and have just sold and bought my cars always at a profit (y)

    Welcome & congratulations.

    Based on your rate of purchasing vehicles, what do you think might be the car you'll buy next year?

    Welcome Anthony! If you go to the club forum you can find up coming meets. I am in the process of putting together a meet and greet in October and listed it there on the forum. Location has yet to be determined. If interested let me know.

    Welcome to priuschat! Now walk by this line of veteran owners, and don't mind the wooden paddles they're all holding. Don't worry, the swelling doesn't last long...

    *rubs behind*

    Just kidding, feel free to ask questions on the forums. But try to ask them in the right forum for a faster response, so asking about the gen 3 liftback in the prius v forums may get a slower response. You can also try searching the forums in case it's been talked about before, but if it's a really old thread, like 3+ years, then it's probably okay to start a new post about it.
