I'm seeing more and more Prii around the Central Florida/Orlando area. Anyone interested in meeting up as a group? I've never really been in a car club, but there seems to be so much enthusiasm about these cars... it might be fun to get together and share experiences, show off various modifications, lie about our mpg's, etc... I live near Clermont, but would be willing to travel if the majority would prefer to meet elsewhere. Thanks, ~Tom
Excellent! I know a lot of car enthusiasts will meet-up at a Steak-N-Shake or an A&W... we've got both here in Clermont, and I know there are several in the Central Florida area. It would be kind of cool to have all of us roll into one of those one evening. Any other interest in getting a group together?
We're getting some interest... it would be cool if we could pick a time and place (maybe like I suggested earlier... an A&W or Steak-N-Shake, where they are used to having car clubs roll in) and just see who can make it. Whenever I see another Prius owner, I typically will stop and talk to them. I have yet to meet one that isn't really into their car. If we can let enough people know that there are like-minded enthusiasts in the Central Florida area, I bet we could get a pretty good group together. It doesn't have to be anything formal... just fun! Let me know what you think. Thanks, ~Tom
Definitely! On my way home from work today, there were 3 of us driving in a group up the turnpike. It was so cool! On a side note, I installed my BT Tech Chassis Stiffening Plate this evening. I'm curious to see, first-hand, the mods that other Prius owners have made. Put some thought into where & when... even if it just starts with a couple of us, I have a feeling the interest will continue to grow.
I'm in. I should have mine 8/23/08 This could grow into road trips and poker runs like bike clubsopcorn:
Awesome!! I'm seeing more and more of us out there on my commute into Orlando. Even if we start with just a couple of us, I bet we could have some fun with this!!
Just checking in... so far, we've got folks from Ruskin to Gainesville to Orlando that have responded saying that they would like to get together and talk about our cars, maybe even do a little Prius Run. I'm thinking it would be fun to hit an A&W or a Steak-n-Shake, maybe grab a root beer and see what everybody has done with their cars since they got 'em. As far as a central meeting place, I'm partial to Clermont, only because we have both of the fine eating establishments mentioned above and there are some pretty fun roads to drive on in this area (561, 19 & 27)... but I'm open to other suggestions. ~Tom
If I'm free I could make the trek from Tampa. Please keep me informed. I don't check in here as often as I should, so please email me if it happens, and let me know if I can help out. Cheers, J - PS I'm very easy to find as jdogric12aolcom over at rickresource.com
Hi... I've decided to go with a local professional to install the Xpel Full Bumper, Full Hood, Fenders and Mirror Kit on my 2010 Prius III. Using a local installer (PhantomShield of Winter Park) to install it. The total is going to be $970. Believe it or not, that's the lowest quote after contacting 6 different professional installers. Appointment is for Saturday morning at their location across from the Winter Park Village in Winter Park. Anyone curious to see how it comes out, let me know and plan on coming over when done at noon. Earlier if you want to see the installation in action.
i might swing by Saturday to check out the install. i won't be in the prius, she took it on a road trip to NC this weekend. her road trip was the reason i rushed to install the 3M clear bra last weekend. i would like to see a professional install of the expel version. if you see a white S2000 with a big black rear wing, that will be me.
Hi Tom. I am meeting with a gentleman this evening to talk about starting a Tampa Bay Prius Club, but I don't want to step on your toes. Do you have many members over this way (Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee Counties)? DJDave 2010 Prius III Solar Package
I got my car back, love the results. You can see my post about it here: http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-accessories-modifications/64489-vinyl-paint-protector-4.html#post906231
