    Hi y'all,

    my wife and I just traded our 2007 4dr Wrangler for our new Barcelona Red metallic 2008 Prius, and actually got a pretty good value on the trade @ over 18k for the Jeep. Not bad.

    We took out first trip to Orlando to see family and the car performed flawlessly. I told my wife I didn't like the car before we bought it, told my friends we bought a @*&$%*&$ hybrid, and I tried real hard to hate it,,, but I can't. Even with my heavy foot, it still performed better than I anticipated.

    I look forward to being a lurker and reading all that has been written here before my registration. Look, learn, search, and then ask questions.

    Any tips/tricks/problems that we should look out for, or be aware of?

    Hi Kelley. Welcome to PriusChat.

    Yeah, one thing to look out for, or be aware of: The PriusChat database is now verrrrryyyyy large. If you try "reading all that has been written here before . . ." we may never hear from you again. Skimming and asking questions is OK too. ;)
