    :peace:I GOT MY PRIUS:D
    I was quoted 1-5 weeks when I got on the list on May 3rd WELL it turned out to be 10 weeks to the day but does not matter now! It is a Barcelona Red package 2 with soon to have back up beep off. It had 8miles on it when I picked it up and on the trip home (about 17 miles) I averaged exactly 43 mpg..driving home was crazy traffic was insane and I felt like a brand new driver! My salesman was great (well he was the 3rd guy I had dealt with) He called me while I was shopping to tell me that my dealer had moved on and he would be my new guy and then he proceeded to read me my information about my waitlist I got nervous because 3 weeks ago I had been told that I had one in allocation for me and I thought maybe that was not on there I then told him that I had a red one coming to me hopefully soon that is when he said "Oh yea it is here" I asked him if he meant on the paper that I was on the waitlist Or if he was talking about there at the dealership he said no it is at the dealership and I could come get it whenever I was ready I rearranged my entire day and went right over! He did a pretty great job of going over the car I did not have time to go home and get my list I wanted to ask about but he told me to call if I have anymore questions. And they have their new owner dinner on tuesday so I am going to make time for that and go to it. To bad I leave on a 5 day road trip (not in my prius flying up to a friend and then going with them from there) I am going to miss it so much!!!!

    OK I downloaded my photos from picking it up...pretty artistic[​IMG] photos to come soon:)

    Congrats, Becky. I'm very happy for you.

    P.S. Pink centered text is really hard to read. Or maybe it's just late and my eyes are tired. ;)

    Congrats. Love the picture. You seem as happy as a new parent.

    Couldn't help but notice that almost all of the vehicles in the picture are pick-up trucks or SUVs. Your red Prius really stands out.

    If you can't make Hybridfest, bring her to a Milwaukee Hybrid Group meeting in August - we'd all like to meet her! :)
