I just picked up my 2006 Barcelona Red, Grey Interior, Package 5 Prius. It had 2 miles on it when I got and I have only added 8 more for now. I cannot wait to get it out and drive more. I think I may just sleep in it tonight. I have so much to learn and maybe sleeping in it I can absorb it through osmosis. I bought it in Charlotte NC and will put it to the test tomorrow when I drive it back to Columbia SC. I can hardly wait to drive by all those gas stations and blow my horn and think I do not have to pay those high prices as often. all the way! I will post pics later!!
w00t! Congratulations! You know, we already have an old poll around here relating to sleeping in your Prius. If you're a guy, you can also join the Wild and Crazy Guys Barcelona Red Owners Club. Heck, you can even be President of it! Now get out there and get at least 45 MPG!

I just ordered my Prius about a week ago, and it's all I can do to not call the dealer every day asking, "When will it be here?...Is it here yet?...Where is it? etc. So...Congratulations! Now go for a nice long drive past some Hummer dealerships! :lol:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(ghostofjk @ May 4 2006, 08:03 PM) [snapback]249973[/snapback]</div> NOT TRUE! :angry: Being a "guy" is not required. :mellow: At least not for RAW.org, and we consider ourselves to be members of the "Wild and Crazy Guys" Barcelona Red Club. B) And I'd vote for you for president
I just picked mine up three days ago and still can't believe how cool it is. In fact, I couldn't sleep the first night I had the car, so I went into the garage at two in the morning, and started to set audio settings, and reading the manual. I should have just reclined the seat and slept in it that night! See the following post for my first impressions, I wonder if you had similiar observations: http://priuschat.com/First-Impressions-t19134.html See you around the Forum, enjoy!!!!!
Congratulations! I barely slept when I picked up my 2006 Super White 17 days ago. Getting my first fill-up on gas this weekend. I've loved driving it, and I'll confess that I open my condo door often so I can just take a look at her sitting smugly in her parking space!
I drove it home from Charlotte NC to Columbia SC when I left it had 11 miles on it and when I got home it had 131. All the way I was looking at the mileage and it made me smile when it it 40 MPG. It was mostly interstate and I set the cruise at 70. As people we passing in their SUV doing at 80 I was laughing because they were probably getting 20mpg or less. When I finally pull into my driveway it said I averaged 44. I am so please and I know it will only get better once the car gets broken-in. I spent the better part of the first night reading the manual and learning all the neat feature. Programmed my bluetooth phone, transferred my numbers set up my XM MyFi, I am loving it even though I am getting less sleep.
