| Toyota Prius - 2005 |
I proudly brought home my 2005 Toyota Prius on March 26, 2005. It's white w/ grey interior, and is a BC (Package #6). I was lucky enough to not have a wait for one, and was able to drive down to Tennessee to pick it up days after putting my deposit on the car. I'll be posting pictures, technical data, and the milage as I go. So far, the car is wonderful, and my experiences will be displayed here as they happen. Happy Priusing!
