    Hey everyone,

    I just picked up a 2012 Black Prius III this past weekend with the solar moonroof package. I've always been a big car guy, and have been active on many internet forums for my vehicles. I've owned several Nissan SE-R's (with turbo and nitrous), 350Z, S2000, G35 and have now switched over to the bright side.

    I commute Ventura County to Santa Monica daily, and as any of you in the LA area know getting to the west side is slow and painful. But with my new Prius, I'm quite enjoying the commute :) Check out my MPG from this morning!

    Wow! Nice!! But is that showing you went 34.5 miles in an hour and a half?!? Blech. Awesome consumption though. :)

    Yep. At least it's mostly down Pacific Coast Highway so great views. But it is a terrible commute.

    I will be adding some mods this coming weekend (clear bra, 17" wheels, tint). I'll post pics after I'm done!
