    I just got my new Prius today, it is a used one, but it's a 2007.
    Priuses are cool! Especially when the money I'll be saving on gas will more than pay for the car.
    I'd like to post a pic, but I had a technical difficulty: "Sorry, dynamic pages in the [​IMG]

    It had 15,000 miles, and I was driving a Nissan Frontier truck, and just took a job that round trip 4 to 5 days per week is 200 miles. The car was 21k plus I bought some accesories with it (wheels & tires, all weather matts, and a bra)

    Ah ha, I see. So it isn't really an either, or, or. It's more of an and, and.

    So you got a reasonable deal, and your last car didn't get great milage, and you drive quite a few miles per week.

    Looks like you're right, as long as you keep the car for 3 years, and continue driving 1K miles per week, the savings actually are likely to pay for the car!

    Kinda makes me chuckle when I think of all the people who like to say that the gas savings will never compensate for the premium of purchasing a hybrid. You're not just compensating for the premium, your offsetting the entire cost of the car! ;)

    I have to wonder if perhaps your first attempt was to host the picture on a photo sharing website and then provide a link to that picture. If that's the case, the issue is with the way the photo sharing website is presenting the image. So it's their code, not yours.

    There have been times when I wanted to share an image with the board, but the code being used by the website is convoluted and it mucks up the tags. In the end, it looks as though you got the picture up as an attachment.

    Congrats. She's a beaut.
    Welcome to Priuschat.

    I have to ask: since you just bought a Prius, why "gas guzzler"?
