Hi from Montreal!

Hi everyone,
From as far as I know I've been a Toyota fan in my heart!
My first couple of cars were all Toyota (Corolla, Camry(5), Solara) and I was an active Toyota Nation member.
Couple of years ago I switched and tried different brands (MINI and Honda) and of course an old Sienna during that time.
I've always been interested in the Prius but never did the move.. I'm a car enthusiast and love cornering/acceleration and the Prius was not really for me.
Now that I'm about to become a father (It will probably be tonight or tomorrow) I "dropped the clutch" on this old interest and got myself a used 2012 Prius (base model)
I was originally looking for a Gen2 post facelift (2006-2009) but I went to try a Gen 3 at my Toyota dealership (where I bought my first car in '99) and felt in love with this generation. I tried a couple different cars and my wife and I set ourself on a 2012 white with black leather interior. (The Prius is mine by the way, she sold her 350Z to buy a Nissan Rogue but I wanted her to have a word on the final approval to make the move)
I already have a scangaugeII at home that I ordered a couple of weeks ago and that's pretty much the only "modification" I will put on that car for a while.. maybe I'll get a black vinyl wrap on the roof next summer
On a Gen 2 I was planning to add EV Mode and maybe some arduino/raspberry pi customization but this Gen 3 I will keep it as is and not play too much with it

For my need for hard acceleration and cornering I have a Classic Mini that I installed a 210hp Honda engine in 2015 and we keep it in the family even tho we will be a family in a few days/hours ;-)

So hello everyone! I'll try to be active and not get too annoying with newbies questions ;-)

 

Hi Don,
Thanks for the welcome!
It's a boy and I hope he will enjoy playing hockey as much as I do ;-)

 

I have a hockey tournament to play in March 2017 in Prague (Czech Republic), too bad he is too young for me to bring him
