ABC correspondent and Prius owner Miguel Marquez reports: Video: They're Different. They Drive Priuses Blog: My Prius and I
These guys have the wheel: http://www.automotivegold.com/ Must be a recent addition. They modify an OEM steering wheel, and you have to send your old one back as a core exchange. Who's going to be the first Priuschatter to get one?
Doesn't buying for economy sort of defeat the purpose when you're paying $4.049 a gallon for full serve in Beverly Hills?
I'm still a little annoyed with the "Life in the Slow Lane" stigma. Driving slowly is not a requirement to driving a Prius. Saying as much on tv just promotes that thought. Also, his commute must be very short if he refills once a month and averages only 40 MPG.
I must admit - in OC it seems like every 10th car is a Prius. And they do not wave back anymore . :mellow: What I have been noticing is that most of the drivers I see are WOMEN! And I know not all of them are on PriusChat! Cathy

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(galaxee @ May 4 2006, 08:42 AM) [snapback]249700[/snapback]</div> Yeah. Smiling and having something nice to say are pretty high up on the list as well. Didn't you get the memo?
crap. people must absolutely hate me for that- and for letting them in traffic too. oh well. in most cases the feeling is mutual
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(htmlspinnr @ May 3 2006, 09:00 PM) [snapback]249522[/snapback]</div> But it makes for a more dramatic story.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(floydenheimer @ May 4 2006, 01:36 PM) [snapback]249879[/snapback]</div> Heh, heh! I'm a conflicted former canyon racer who drives briskly, and I've noticed that it startles some people to see a Prius hustling along - but I'll also wave ... Jim
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(priusenvy @ May 3 2006, 06:42 PM) [snapback]249391[/snapback]</div> Oooh! Oooh! I want one! ... but the drop down says they don't have it for an '06 Prius.
