You were to bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness!!" - Obi Wan So here we go: 1. How PriusChat is the Prius-Mecca, more so than a dealership or even the Toyota front office. 2. The diversity of PriusChat members. 3. The safe community - Prius talk on the internet is ubiquitously negative. 4. The help, specifically in Maintenance/Care and Main Forum. 5. Coming across a post that makes my brain cells tingle in agreement. 6. How visiting this site always makes me want to hop in my car. 7. The elated new owners. 8. The elated old-timers whose loyalty to the car and site reminds us it's all worth it.
I really enjoyed listening to podcast #50. Doug Coleman, the Prius brand manager in the US was interviewed. He has been with Prius since 2001. It is must listening to all Prius fans.
I'm #8 on MacMaster05's love list: (8. The elated old-timers whose loyalty to the car and site reminds us it's all worth it.) Do you really love me MacMaster05? I'm just an old man who loves his Prius as much as a man can love a car! But isn't this better then starting a "What's your favorite recipe?" thread? I like recipes. I like lemon curd pancakes, too. Can you get those at FHOP?
I have been fortunate to meet, in person, about 40 other Prius Chatters, just a couple of years ago. I love that this site has real people, who are genuinely helpful and very knowledgeable. Oh, and some of them are party animals, too!
He meant old-timers in the sense of people who have owned a Prius for a long time, not people who are afraid to fart for fear of.... And who would that be????? You're such a naughty girl.
I don't know anyone who fits that description. When is the next party, anyway? Can we hold out until September?
I love that Mac is no longer a dorky white kid. I also love all the free tech advice I've found here. Gonna same me money by DIY vs. Stealership.
Personally, I was shocked when I discovered he was Asian. I couldn't sleep much that night. In other news, Rae Vynn, those pictures are great of that Prius unveiling! I wonder how much high mileage I'll have to eek out of Wentworth before Toyota will one day invite me to such an event
It was an awesome event. I doubt they will ever do it again because now that we all know each other so well I'm sure things won't go so umm smoothly... The upscale professional atmosphere will quickly break down into adult-themed banter and drunken debauchery! I mostly fear Hyo trying to reenact the Tawny Kataen scene in the Whitesnake video.
I'm flattered you think I still have the legs for it, but Tawdry Kitten is in my distant past and she's going to stay there. Plus, I'm pretty sure those moves can't be done on the hood of a Prius without damaging something expensive.
Thanks! You're too kind. I tried. Sometimes it shocks me too. Now what da hell have you done to my thread! Jk.
NOW is the time for the Dislike button or even just a diss avatar. Thanks a lot Spiderman.... yuck lol
