    Hey all. I just wanted to stop in and tell anybody that may care that we finally received our Spectra Blue Pkg. 5 yesterday! We ordered it on April 12th, the dealer told us 2 to 3 months, but they were able to get one that was being sent to another dealer for us. It's everything I had dreamed of, and more! I drove it home last night (about 55 miles) and averaged 48.5 mpg. I thought that was pretty good for a newbie, although I have been practicing my Prius driving with our mini-van. I've managed to increase our fuel mileage on our van to over a mile per gallon by driving it differently. I had never seen the Spectra Blue on a Prius before ours, and I think we made a very good choice! It is Gorgeous! When we pulled up to the dealer, I spotted it sitting out front right away, I just knew it was ours!
    Anyway, I am sooooo excited I can hardly contain myself! Gas went up to just under 4.00 a gallon here yesterday, and I don't care as much as I did yesterday morning!! Today I shall try and conquer pairing my cell phone with the handsfree bluetooth. I still have a lot to learn!
    Thanks to all who has made our Prius buying journey easier by the great advice, tips and comments made here on Prius chat. Happy motoring!:):):):):):):):):):):):)
