Trying to be patient

2 years ago I thought I was going to be conquering mountains, hauling gear, and taxing friends. So, I bought a Trailblazer. I do love it, except it's bad for the environment, I don't conquer mountains, and I get only 13 mpg. About a month ago I decided it was time to stop being a hypocrite (I am the person who yells at everyone to recycle and not to pollute, yet drove a monster), and buy a Prius.

It was perfect timing for a new vehicle. It coincided with my graduation from college, so I was able to talk my parents into giving me the down payment. I went to a Toyota dealer, and test drove the Prius. It was love, right then and there. I ordered a package 3, in magnetic grey.

I just called my dealer today. The shipment is in Newark, grounded, and I live about a 5 hour drive from there on Long Island. If luck is with me, my car will be here later today. Worst case scenario, it will be here over the weekend.

I am one of the lucky ones who is paying under MSRP and my dealer is honoring my order. I know there have been some posts about orders not meaning much, but my dealer has been in constant contact with me. (I think it helps that he wants to ask me on a date!)

So, soon I will join the ranks of all you Prius' owners. Pictures soon!
