    Hey all,

    I've been driving an old 1985 Mercedes 190d Diesel. It was my first car, and it was a tank (sounded like one too). You know it's time to let a car go when you need to jump it to start, and have to turn it off manually by sticking your hand in the engine.

    Just picked up my 2012 Prius Two yesterday, purchased it in Durham, NC for below invoice OTD. Pretty pleased that my first brand new car is a Prius. It is amazing how quiet it is compared with my old baby benz! I've been dreaming of a Prius for a couple years now, and it was finally time to make the leap.

    Looking forward to picking up some tips from the fine folks here.

    Cheers,

    Jesse

    Congratulations on your new baby and welcome to the forums.

    If you don't mind, what color did you get?

    Hey welcome to the world of Prius.
    I assume you had already watched every youtube video out there and studied the entire Hybrid drive and
    drive line system to the point of distraction lol
