    Starbucks....yes
    NPR....ONLY...of course on a trip...through Nevada.... I bring my ipod and run the podcast for Lake Wobegon with GK and Click and Clack...is there something I'm missing? of course I always thought Prius owners were a little above average.

    Starbucks: yes sometimes. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I usually get hot tea from them when I do go. Or a frapachino or that iced pomegranate thingy on hot days.

    NPR: nope, can't stand talk radio. Listen to iPod or CD's, and sometimes FM radio music.

    Mac user: no, but want one....


    How many of us are scifi fans? (I am!)
    I think my Prius' body shape resembles the runabouts from Star Trek: DS9. :D

    Add me to the statistics:
    NPR (and KPCC here in L.A. area): definitely yes
    Starbucks: only when there are no Peets Coffee around

    Well then why don't you mark it like one? I took my design from The Motion Pictures.

    NPR? All of my radio presets are on NPR stations (and I can pick up six or seven around Dayton, both classical from Dayton and Cincinnati, whatever WYSO is, and more traditional NPR talk on WMUB and WVXU).

    Starbucks? Eh. I'm a tea drinker. I make my own.

    OMG!! I love your car!!!! :wub: :wub: Now I wish mine were white or silver so it would work better (I have black)....maybe I can make it a Romulan-styled Prius and then go chase after yours.... :p

    Where did you get all those graphics? And your sig says you've got an undercar lighting system to go with it! I want your car. (Oh god, I'm such a nerd! :lol: )

    I saved your pic to my hard drive. Got more? :D

    I listen to a wide variety of music, from Dixie Chicks to Fall Out Boy to ACDC.... & yes NPR as well.

    I love Starbucks, but there isn't one for about 100 miles or so from here, so I either brew my own, make my own espresso, or frequent the local java house.

    I think someone was trying to tell you to get white in another thread but you wouldn't listen:

    There are at least 4 within a mile of my house. What could be more Nor Cal than Starbucks, NPR and Prius?

    Living in southern California means living in your car on the freeways.........and NPR is the only station I listen to for news. As for Starbucks I'm hooked on the Orange Mocha Frappuccino. Although I take my espresso straight in the morning. And their new toasted breakfast sandwiches aren't too bad either.

    Today after leaving... eh hmm... Starbucks in Toledo I met another Prius owner at the most unlikely place, the gas station. As little time as we spend in such fowl places I was surprised to see another owner there. While I was unable to acertain her radio choice I surmise it was in fact NPR. She did emobdy the PriusChat spirit and even stop in the middle of the driveway to pass compliments on such a fine vehicle choice, she had an 07' Seaside Pearl also. I wanted to promote PC but didn't have time, we should have bumper stickers! Keep up the good will toward all Prii! :)

    You refering to Rae Vynn's comment about being sympathetic to my color choice? Unfortunately, the only Prius on the lot at the time of perchase was a black one, so I didn't get to pick colors. *sigh*

    Just teasing. I think you should look for some skull and crossbones graphics to accentuate the pirate theme. Aaaarrrrgh....

    Yes to NPR - at least during the morning commute. I also buy most of my coffee from a locally owned business, but I do like Starbucks Chai Tea Latte!

    Love NPR. When I'm in the car NPR is on.

    Hate Starbucks. Way too bitter and oily. There are four (yes, four) Starbucks within walking distance from my home. They all taste the same.

    If Starbucks is so "Nor Cal" . . . please send me into exile in Boone, North Carolina! :blink:
    Boone is so much more "Nor Cal" than Nor Cal ever would be if it had to try to identify itself with Starbucks! How freain' original is that? <_< :rolleyes:

    Hell, at least Peets is from Northern California.

    Is McDonald's "Nor Cal" too???? :p :rolleyes:

    [and YES, I have been to Boone several times. . . on a skii trips to Banner Elk . . . Beach and Sugar Mountain. Fun little hills :) ]
