    I have never seen this many Prii in a month let alone in one day and I've only once encountered one being driven while I was also driving mine. Maybe it's because I just switched cars with my father's Subaru for the next week to thank him for lending me part of the downpayment. Prius withdrawal? His 2003 Subaru is allright but we both prefer the Prius. ;)

    Anyway, as I drove his car back to my place in Sunderland, MA (2 hours west of my father's home in RI) I passed a blue Prius going west on rte 90. Nice car. Hadn't seen a blue car yet. When I got to Amherst, I found myself driving behind yet another blue Prius! Later in the day I went to Target in Hadley. What should i see in the parking lot when I walk out but yet another blue Prius! And 20 cars down, a white one! Are any of these cars anyone here? Or maybe it was the same blue one 3 times but I highly doubt that considering each sighting was a couple hours apart in vastly different places.

    Too bad I didn't have my Prius when I met up with these ones. At least I got to see a light greenish classic on the highway when I drove east on 90 to get to RI to pick up the subaru. The woman in the passenger seat was very excited to see my car and gave me 2 thumbs up! I hope I run into more Prii on the highway when I get mine back. :)

    None were me, Starla30, but if you see a black with tinted windows and no insignia on the body, that is me! :mrgreen:

    Peace :)

    I'm in Wilbraham, MA, but range all over New England (have almost 10k on my three month old Prius).

    If I see another hybrid I always wave or stop if possible,. Since I've only seen two others (04s) in my 10,000 miles, however, it has not been too often.

    There is another guy in town with a white one, and a silver classic who I have not met but have seen, and that is it for my sightings. You've seen more in one day than I've seen in three months!

    I did have a nice talk with a guy named Victor who has an insight. He pulled up next to me at a local gas station and wanted the lowdown on the Prius :)

    Peace :)

    I saw a blue Prius on my way from work tonight on Rt. 295 going from NY into MASS. It had MASS plates and was purchased from Boch Toyota. I was the blue MINI Cooper behind you admiring you curved roof line. Your car was a lot cleaner than mine! :lol:
