    I parked next to some empty spaces outside Old Navy and look what I found 30 minutes later! They appear to be breeding. (I'm the dark red on the left)

    Desertbrieze - I notice you have the prism bumper protector. I just got mine delivered yesterday. How did you fare putting it on? Any tips you care to pass on would be appreciated.

    Great picture. Your car must have a magnetic personality!

    Are you saying that you don't intentionally park next to Prii that you see? I know I do. :)

    They look so pretty together.

    How about Hi Ho (Silver, as in the Lone Ranger?)

    When there are spaces- I usually come out to see a Prius next to mine or close... course maybe because it seems every 10th car is a Prius in Southern California...

    except for putting it too high it went on perfectly.... no bubbles..... looks gread (except for being too high :rolleyes: )

    if i thought i wouldn't ruin the paint on the bumper... i'd take it off and reapply it where it's supposed to be (with the clear part hanging over the edge) i was SO mad when i realized i'd done it wrong! GRRRRRRrr

    oh..... i used bug and tar remover since i couldn't find that 3M cleaning stuff they want you to use!

    They're pretty ubiquitous (thanks firefox spell checker) here in Seattle too. A while back I joined a similar Prius threesome in the local Safeway parking lot.

    I usually make an effort to park next to another Prius if there is a spot. I figure the two cars can gossip while I shop. Can you imagine what kind of conversations they would have?

    Red Prius: So what's your average on this tank Blue?

    Blue Prius: <frowns> 38mpg at 120miles.

    Red Prius: You're kidding? Who's driving, Mario Andretti or that idiot Top Gear host?

    Blue Prius: <laughs> No, his name is Bob and he thinks "Pulse and Glide" is a dance move from the 70's.

    Red Prius: <winces> Well, at least he had the good taste to change your wheels. Are those from the Scion tC?

    Thanks for the tip. I'm trying to find the 3M stuff, too. I tried Ace hardware and the "Helpful Hardware Man" told me I should be able to get it at an auto parts store. I'm searching again today - good to know the bug and tar remover is a second option. :)

    Something is wrong with my brain. I cannot see the wheels on the Blue Prius.
    All three G2 on the close side look to have stock rims.

    If the Blue G1 has TC rims, wouldn't that be nearly enough to explain why it is only getting 38 MPG?

    My big concern is that we need better integration between the G1 and G2 crowds. G1s are our elders, and should be respected, rather than being forced to park on the other side of the isle, away from the young floks. I am sure the young can lear loads from the more experienced G1.


    Edit - Oops, after reading again, I now realize that the conversation between the Red and Blue Prius was quoted from a different set of Prius parked together.

    Nice picture! :D

    Could this be a Prius in the back of the picture? (circled in yellow and behind the Pontiac Aztec)

    Whenever I see another Prius, I try to park next to it.

    I also still wave at Prii on the road... no one waves back... they must not all be members of PC.

    hey thats the same thing or even more if youve ever been to berkeley... you know what sucks tho...there are so many barcelona reds out there that whenever i see one that is newer than mine, i get really angry at the person for making such a pretty, unique color seem so common! dont u ever have that feeling of "ohh i have something you don't" and then suddenly everyone else does...
