    I just got my PRIUS Friday! I had a GMC Acadia, much higher clearance, and it didn’t really matter if I pulled to far ahead with black plastic underside. So I’m so nervous of this car! I’m going to look at these options. Thanks for posting!
    What has anyone done?

    Congratulations and welcome to Prius Chat. I've scraped my front underside a few times now with no obvious damage to the car -- just my pride. You will get the hang of it in time, but I'd advise caution over taking the risk when in doubt. I never had a Prius before and I am absolutely delighted with what mine does well and accept that there are things it is not so good at. Most of us on here are enthusiastic and don't gripe to often, but it is allowed within reason. Being in UK myself, I don't know where Hurricane is located in USA and Google was no help.

    Edit:. That must be Utah or W Virginia.

    I think there'll be a few of us on here will remember them.

    Talk about being on the spot..I was just wondering about that very same concept several days ago..A Forward looking video or active senor is much needed.
