    I just got the call - my Magnetic Grey Pkg. 6 is in! Now I just need to sit anxiously at work for the next 8 hours before I can go pick it up.....the suspense very well might do me in.

    So happy to finally join the Prius family!

    I took delivery on my Prius yesterday! Mag Grey, Pkg 7. It is the greatest car in the world!

    I played with it all last night. Enjoy!

    Yeah, good luck with that. :lol: I had to do the same thing. You will get very near to nothing done today. And Congratulations! You will soon understand that no matter how well you think you understand the car now, once you start driving it you will realize that you knew very little.

    And don't forget your pre-delivery checklist!


    Can we stay focussed here. :)

    Since it's your first post, Polluxius, allow me to take the opportunity to say WELCOME TO PRIUSCHAT!

    Congrats to both of you, and welcome to PC, polluxius.

    Geez, the magnetic greys are flying off the shelves, huh? Tim, another mag grey wannabe who posted on another thread today that he had to settle for red, will be flagellating himself like an Opus Dei assassin.

    blbgp, I don't know whether to hope you have access to a computer at work or not. :p

    What a wonderful day! I got my Prius yesterday. ('06 Barcelona Red, #7, grey leather upgrade) I waited 10 months for it. You can wait 8 hours no problem, totally worth it. ;)

    Not to change the general topic or anyting but does one really need to bring a pre-delivery check list?

    It could be a heck of a lot worse. When my Prius arrived, I was stuck in the hospital. My wife called from home to tell me that my salesman had sent me an e-mail with a photo of my Prius being unloaded off the carrier. What a bummer! To be in the hospital that is. I kept telling them I had to get out to get my car. Took three days!

    Anyway congrats and enjoy. Take it for a spin down Cannery Row for me. It been a while since I've been there. Do they still have the cruise nights? The Prius would fit right in. ;) Central California Coast is my favorite spot in the US with the Maine coast close behind.

    8 hrs? Man, I had to wait 7 days before I could fly down to LA to pick up my Magnetic Grey #7. Well worth the wait! Today, after following the advice of team priuschat, I selected a local company and I'm having aftermarket leather installed. Should beat the OEM by miles!

    Have fun staying up all night playing the prius game

    I have the Sirius installed. The receiver is on the windshield, above the rear-view mirror (slightly to the right of the post connecting the mirror to the frame.

    Cheers
