    Great story.
    Was your "toyota" dealer in Napa? (see this post
    http://priuschat.com/threads/chevy-v....109059/page-2)



    From someone that had to drive 1600 miles R/T to get one, i can appreciate your continuing to looks. I went from a test drive and after calling all over the west coast a bit over week later drive to TX to buy one. It will be a year this weak, its its been even more than I expected. Enjoy the future. Today.

    Great story and welcome to ownership.

    The division of my company is one that boasts the latest and greatest technology, however I am the only electric car in the lot. After providing me with a place to plug in, my car is now a part of the tour when people visit our building.

    Great Story! Chicago seem to be overrun by Unicorns I now see one every other day. Even my tiny suburb now have atleast 3 Volts. My crazy driving last year must have inspired a lot of people. I drive it like a sports car. Prius does not even have a chance against the Volt. Toyota is so far behind.
