I would like to be a part of a new group order for the Plug-In Block Heater, but only if Fire Engineer (Wayne) can install it. My husband is not mechanically able to do the install himself. We live right outside Indianapolis, IN. Please let me know when the order will go in and if Wayne would be able to install. We are going on vacation from Oct. 12 to Oct. 28. Other than that, we would be available by the end of September. Thanks. Blue Hoosier
you'll need to keep an eye on the forum to look out for the next group buy as it's very unlikely anyone will remember to contact you. Since Indianapolis isn't all that far from Chicago I'd encourage you to make the effort to go to Wayne (aka FireEngineer) for him to do the install instead of waiting for him to come to you...He's been exceptionally kind to make his way around the country, but I don't think it's fair to expect him to continue to come to other people's homes. Also, I bet there are a few people there in Indianapolis that are quite capable of helping you with the install as well.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco @ Aug 26 2007, 08:30 PM) [snapback]502525[/snapback]</div> Efusco, I was planning on asking Wayne what he would prefer...us go to him or if he was making another trip. We would appreciate any help, no matter where it was. I'll keep on checking. Thanks for the response. Blue Hoosier
Blue Hoosier, Did you get in on the last group buy? If not, how about we watch for the next one together? If I see it, I'll let you know. I'm in southern IN and could head your way (or Chicago) for the install.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(efusco @ Aug 26 2007, 08:30 PM) [snapback]502525[/snapback]</div> Well, haven't found anyone yet. Milhouse, Wayne will be making a stop in Indy on October 6th while on his way to Cincy so if you can get your hands on one before then by all means come on up. I know at one point Blue Hoosier had an extra block heater, but I don't know if that's the case anymore.
Look up " Burnsville Toyota" on the net give them a call , I got mine from them 39.00 plus 8.00 shipping
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(priussoris @ Sep 20 2007, 04:52 PM) [snapback]515427[/snapback]</div> You can call Burnsville Toyota at 1-800-448-5912. They will ask you what model of Prius you have because the newer ones are a different part number. Good luck. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(milhouse @ Sep 20 2007, 07:50 AM) [snapback]515187[/snapback]</div> I did not get in on the last group buy, I ordered it from Prius Chat Accessory Shop for $59.00. If you want to try to order a BH for the group install on Saturday, October 6, you could try the Milwaukee Hybrid Group (don't know their e-mail, maybe somebody else can help with that info), or call Burnsville Toyota in Minnesota, telephone #1-800-448-5912. They would probably have to order one for you, but maybe it would come in before October 6. The group install will be at my house on October 6 and you are more than welcome to come if you get a BH before then. I had two of them, but I think one of them is sold already. Let me know how you come out.
You can reach the Milwaukee Hybrid Group at their website - just google "Milwaukee Hybrid" - there is an email on the site for info - start there. I've heard the Milwaukee install is in Pewaukee on October 13 & I'm not sure if extra EBH were ordered at the time of the group buy.
Virginia install day September 29th. Boston area install day October 1st. Indy install day October 6th. Cincy install day October 7th. Milwaukee install day October 13th. St Paul, MN. install day October 14th. Chicago install day October 20th. October 27th, don't know what to do day. Wayne
Hey Wayne - come up to the Milwaukee Hybrid Meeting if you're at loose ends on Oct 27 - you could "visit" some of the EBH you've installed. OTOH, maybe you're over due to just collapse! It's been fun keeping track of your travels.
Wayne is way cool. He stopped by my place the day after AltWheels, and finished the install that Hobbit started. Am I the only Prius owner who has had it EBH installed by BOTH FireEngineer and Hobbit?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(FireEngineer @ Sep 21 2007, 10:26 AM) [snapback]515750[/snapback]</div> Talk about dedication.... That is a crazy travel schedule Wayne! Thanks again for installing mine on the 29th!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Doc Willie @ Oct 2 2007, 12:53 PM) [snapback]520367[/snapback]</div> Hey, you are lucky, had TWO outstanding people and friends for the same EBH install at your place. This winter enjoy the warmth of the heater.
