    My fault, too. I let a cart carrying a 5-gallon water jug roll into the side of the car. I'd gone six months clean.

    Does Toyota sell Blue Mag touch-up paint?

    Dealer might not have it in stock, but can get in 3 weeks.

    First one sucks the worst.

    Best of luck,

    I feel your pain. I work at a grocery store, and carts are the devil's handiwork. I was scratch free for about 6 weeks. And I park the car in about the most out of place, wind-free, safe zone and still, stuff happens.

    I long ago decided to avoid stressing out over new cars and accept that sooner or later (usually sooner) they all develop a "patina." I've been driving and parking my Prime from day 1 the same way I've been driving and parking my 2007. So far, one barely noticeable ding and my blood pressure is none the worse for it.

    Oh well. Now you have an excuse to stop washing the "new" car every couple of days. ;)

    I bought the Advanced Prime and have looked in the back. I don't have the music system like that Prius does. What am I missing?
