    In anticipation, I have enrolled you in the Chicagoland Prius Group. You can go there for details on our upcoming get-together.

    Your car isn't black, by any chance, is it? When I was there last night, there was a black Prius in the shop with the sticker still in the window. I figured they were prepping it for a lucky new owner.

    Congratulations on your patience. To quote a friend, it's "worth the wait"

    HA! That's awesome. I was seriously considering trying to butter up the service guy to let me place a PriusChat business card in the glove box.

    Guess I don't need to. :)

    Prius is safely home :mrgreen: Good experience at Libertyville Toyota. No high pressure to buy any add-ons. Paid MSRP $26,666.

    One thing they mentioned on the test drive that I had not heard before was to use B mode in heavy city traffic to increase gas mileage; any comments?

    Love the car! :D
