    Ann Arbor Toyota dealer is the second largest Prius dealer in US. Ann Arbor only has 110,000 residents, so this is a big deal. Every day I see atleast 3 Prii on the road. My colleague told me she saw Prii of all colors (3 silvers, red, tan, black, white, blue and green) on the same day! Ann Arbor is like the Prius City! :)

    Anyone in PriusChat from Ann Arbor? :D Join the club!

    I know!! I tried waving to a silver Prius, and the driver gave me a strange look. I guess that's a negative side of having too many Prii in one small town :)

    I too work in Ann Arbor and see at least 4 other Prius every day. There are three parked at one of the buildings I attend meetings in all the time and at least two others at the building I work in.

    Its not surprising that Ann Arbor Toyota is a big seller with the Toyota Technical Center here in Ann Arbor. The dealer even has a special shuttle just for the technical center.

    I usually see 1 or 2 others on the 60 mile drive to or from work. If I go out at lunch its easy to see 3-4 more.

    Hmm I wonder if I would be excluded from the club since I live in the Holland area on the west side of the state. If such a club meeting was to take place in Ann Arbor it would be a nice drive for me to get out there. :)

    You know, we should also start a Prius club in MI.

    Agreed. :) That way all of us who own (or soon to be an owner) a Prius here in MI can chime in and join the club. I think that would be great!

    Ann Arbor is nuts on the Prius! I like driving around metro Detroit much better as I feel much more important and unique :p

    Yeah I should go to Detroit and show off. Oh wait, I might get shot over there (not because I am driving a Prius, but ... you know...). I will just stay in safe and pretty Ann Arbor.

    I actually like driving around Ann Arbor because of all of the Prii that are there. I love not getting stared at for a change because of how unusual my car is.
