My first drive home from the dealer!

glad you like the car, windstrings!

 

Congratulations windstrings!!! It's really fun to see each of us finally get our Prius after waiting for months. We've all been anxious and impatient together, reading and researching as much as we can, wondering what it will be like when the car finally arrives! Now, little by little, each of us pops up with some kind of a "got my Prius" post! B) The car is awesome, no doubt about it! I get warm fuzzies reading about other people's first day with their Prius because it was so fun for me. The cool part is that the fun continues every day. Man I just love the Prius!

Once again congrats!!

 

Wait a minute! Your car? I thought this was your wife's car. I bet they will both be your car! Congratulations! You're right about the learning beginning again. Then it was theoretical, now it's real! Have fun! Turn off the screen sometime and just drive, feeling the car's response.

 

Face it, you're addicted. No intervention needed though.

To me, the amazing thing about Prius is that the excitement evident in your post continues indefinitely. I'm working on my fifth 2G Prius with the latest '06, and I feel similar emotions every time I climb into the driver's seat.

Prius takes driving enjoyment to a new level, and this comes from one with a road racing car background who usually gets his thrills at Portland International Raceway.

Prius rules, it really is a lifestyle. My neighbor got one after I let him demo mine and then he began recycling for the first time. Glad you're enjoying yours, it only gets better. Now get some sleep.

 

Woooooooo Hooooooooooo!

Been a long time coming!

Congrats dude!

You're gonna have even more fun over the next fews days.

I'm so happy for ya windstrings!

Enjoy my friend.

P.S. Your wife is going to be jealous for a while (regardless of which one of you it really belongs to) "you spend more time with that car than me..." kinda thing...LOL

So Windstrings, did you get the car through Bob Lee/National Auto Locators? Or did you give up on waiting and go through a dealer?

Bob is still telling me that my package #5 (in any of three colors) is still a month out, even though I ordered just a day or two after you did (I think he told me). I'm getting tired of the wait when I see Toyota dealers here in Portland (such as Toyota of Gladstone) with new 2006 Prius sitting on their lot available.

Wait a freakin' minute... I see your avatar on here constantly ('cause I like it!) ... and you JUST got the a Prius?!?!? :huh:

I had to check for myself.

Congrats on the car, man! But I gotta say, I guess if you don't own a Prius, you have plenty of time to post about them! :lol:

 

Glad you love it as we all do. If you want even more enjoyment, buy the chassis stiffening plate. It takes 5 minutes to install and makes a big improvement in the ride- especially going around curves in the road and making turns. Enjoy!

 

I'm glad you finally got a Prius Tony because you needed a life too :lol:

Hmmpf... I joined in July of '04 even though I had been a visitor and ordered a car in March? Wonder what took ME so long?

 

Check my membership date, and my car hasn't arrived yet.

 

OH CONGRATULATIONS!!! You do have your own thread on this. Now I gotta read it B)

 

I get what Toyota calls the Vehicle Color And Accessory Combination Profile for the Portland Region from my dealer in the hopes that my Magnetic Grey will show up soon.

The latest info for February HI Pkg #5 arrivals, the smallest % of all packages, is 49 total to be spread among 71 dealers. I don't know what colors you preferenced, but of those 49 there will be 10 CSM, 9 SP, 8 BRM, 7 SPM, 6 DP, 5 SW and 4 Black. Sounds like you or your contact will need to act quickly to get exactly what you want, and will likely involve a dealer trade. Good luck!

 

What's taking SO long??
