Let's do it again! Let's hear where you're from!

Where you're from: Harrisonburg, VA (James Madison University)
You're Prius' information: When I get it. Red or Black. Pkg 7 or 9.
Car you had before you got your Prius: (Hangs head in shame) 1998 Dodge Dakota. I also have had a Suzuki Katana and currently a Honda Shadow Spirit.

 

Placitas, New Mexico (between Albuquerque and Santa Fe).

Just picked up my Salsa #7 yesterday (3/9/04). This will be my long term (God willing) retirement car.

Previous cars worth mentioning were:

. 2 Audi A4 1.8T Quattros (2000, 2002)
. 1 1998 Saab 9-5
. 5 Saab 900s ('79, 86, 92, 94 SE coupe, 96 convertible)
. 1 1982 Audi 4000 Diesel (47 mpg)
. 1 1975 Audi Fox
. 1 1973 Oldsmobile Vista-cruiser station wagon
. 1 1967 Pontiac Tempest station wagon
. 1 1965 Corvair Corsa
. 1 1961 standard Corvair (first new car)
. 1 1954 Pontiac

. 1 1947 Chevy
. 1 1941 Mercury (My first car with dashboard pushbutton start)
. 1 1938 Willeys
. 1 1936 Plymouth

 

Geez, you could write a book on multiple generations of cars.
My friend Dr. Firestone lives/practices in Placitas...check with him if the Prius overstimulates your heart.

 

Hmm, couldn't help but notice the move from the Corvair Corsa to the Pontiac Wagon.

Was there perhaps a marriage and children in that time period? :wink:

 

Ordered 16 Oct. 03
Received 27 Feb. 04
Seaside Pearl AF (I dislike NAV systems)
Paid MSRP from Toyota of Escondido (Near San Diego, CA)

I already have over 1000 miles of mixed driving and have have achieved approx. 48 miles per gallon.

Just installed the front end bra I got from Toyota. I'm happy with the look. Hope it keeps the rock damage down from the bottom dump gravel trucks on the highway. They are all over the place here in the Temecula/Murrieta area.

So far I have nothing but praise for this car :mrgreen:
My wife lets me drive it. (She is a little scared of it...and I'm having too much fun with it)
Love tanking up next to SUV's...I just smile and talk out loud about my MPG on the fillup.

Where are you from: Portland, OR, but originally from the Netherlands. I've lived here for almost three years.
Prius information: Soon to be owner of a Tideland #9
Previous cars:
- '88 Buick stationwagon when I lived in New Jersey for 3 months in 1999
- '93 Toyota Tercel (I was going to sell it once I got my Prius, but 1.5 months ago, just before I was planning to go in for an oil change, the car ran out of oil and it broke the engine. Since it's such an old car it wasn't worth it to have it fixed, so now I'm planning on donating it to Goodwill. Too bad, because it was a nice and dependable car that usually got me 34mpg.)

I drive 15 miles to work every day and I've been riding public transportation ever since my car broke down, which takes me 1.5 hrs from door-to-door. So yeah, I'll really appreciate my Prius when I get it. It's scheduled to arrive in Portland tomorrow, so hopefully it'll get to the dealer soon.

I am from Maryland. I got a call from the dealer yesterday who said that a super white will be here for me on July 14. I really wanted the seaside pearl. It was my first choice. I think I will take the white because it is a good color. It is a package #9.

My current car is a green 97 Toyota Corolla. It gets 32 miles per gallon. It is now for sale.
