I was at a costco yesterday, and while looking for parking, I saw a green and white prius taxi. Thought it was pretty cool so I took a picture with my crappy verizon phone. Although I have no way of getting it of of the phone unless I send someone the picture

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(philmcneal @ May 28 2007, 03:07 PM) [snapback]451135[/snapback]</div> Ah.. so that's your car I saw a few weeks ago! I really like the 2-tone paint job!
I guess that makes it 2 two-tone Priuses in our area lol. The blue with grey bottom and his white with blue bottom.
saw something this past week in the paper where NYC is encouraging taxi fleets to buy hybrids! It's about time!!!
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Presto @ May 28 2007, 03:54 PM) [snapback]451166[/snapback]</div> oh yeah no way? sometimes when i see other priuses i show the peace sign, but sometimes they give me the wierd look..... thanks although when you look closer at the side of my body you can see a ding ( grr lucky i didn't paint it yet) plus you can see the faded numbers of victoria b.c taxi service w00t! i want to see your sick setup sometime, my car needs a lot of work but i'm lazy and been pretty happy at the under 4L/100km mileage. but yeah i'm from the fraiser heights area, i commute to richmond if I'm required to work at the office (and no i'm not a balla buisness man, i'm a mere peon for the software industry) the 2 tone paint job is apparently done from the guy I bought the prius from, he's my trusty prius mechanic, i go through him until he gives up and i go to his toyota buddy dealer, which helped me installed the block heater successfully, right now im in the process of fixing my A/C before the weather gets worse, just waiting on scap parts! My hoses are leaking and for the record, on the 91 i've gone at least 160 km/h with me (130 pounds) and 3 other peeps (200 pounds, 140 pounds, 150 pounds) since your car is more souped up than mine pesto I expect better from you

Highland, NY has one also A local taxi company has introduced its first hybrid. Unfortunately this article has no photos, but I will try to get one myself, and will post it here when it do. http://www.dailyfreeman.com/site/news.cfm?dept_id=74969&PAG=461&newsid=19067306
Highland, NY has one also Another article on the same Prius: http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071203/NEWS/712030328 Still no pictures.
You guys need to come over to the west coast We have tons here. . It's a good start! I was very surprised when I landed at SFO (and when I drove to LV) during my vacation. After being used to see Prius, Camry and Corolla cabs here, it was like a step back in time when I saw all the Crown Vics and Grand Marquis cabs
Prius Limos in Mass. FWIW, when my wife and I fly from Logan Airport (50 miles from here), we usually hire a local limo operator to take us and pick us up. The small company has two Prii--in fact that was the first time I ever rode in one of these terrific cars. If I remember correctly, guy is a retired aircraft engineer and a confirmed early adopter--and he's trying to keep costs down. --Joe
Body side moldings Barbaram, Where did you get the body-colored body side moldings for your Prius? Who installed them. They look awesome and I bet they really protect your car.
