    Hello everyone!
    Picked up a Certified PO 2011 P3 last week and have been driving it around getting used to it, and reading on this forum.
    So far I'm a big fan of this car. I actually love it. I love gadgets and this car has gadgets.
    Instead of posting pics of my Blue Ribbon Metallic over Bisque, I thought I'd show what I gave up. Gave these up a lot because I have kids in college but also, I love gadgets. And this car has gadgets.

    And I hate paying for gas all the sudden. Guess I've bought enough already.

    Glad to be part of this community and I hope I can learn and share along the way.
    Happy pulse and gliding!

    And now, the cars I no longer drive.

    Thanks! I already love this car. Still some getting used to a new driving style.
    Coming off a very aggressive driving mentality, I struggle with this car's laid back approach - but I'll learn, and learn to relax.

    Um, aggressive driving because I'm a commuter living in Atlanta. Worst traffic on the planet.

    It's striking to me however, I expected a lot of hate from other drivers toward me and my Prius. Nothing unusual so far. Hopefully that stigma has died.
