Wow she's a beaut! I just bought my first Prius...an 08 loaded w/all the trimmings. Bought it with 26K miles on it and traded my BMW 330i...yes I'm serious. I drove one of these and fell for the economical sense and the car itself. Nooo it's not quick like the beamer was nor does the handling even come close ....but it gets me where I'm going in style for 1/3 of the money. I'm already eying the Gen III's lol. I LOVE blue and your car is sweet. Congrats just thought I'd shoot a comment as enjoyed the story of your Prius and the pics.
