got one of the first 2007 with the new Touring edition package in Norcal.

It thus far is much better all around car than I thougt it would be.
First tank of fuel went 44.1MPG with brake in procedures and lots of driving in the foothills of the Sierras. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I am more than pleased since we are just starting to figure out how to get the most out of the hybrid system.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

No Erik, AX is not in the Prius's future....that is what the orange putput is for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Anthony, motor rebuild will start after the 28th of Oct. Once I get home from GGR #9 the motor will come out and we will get serious. Plenty of time to get it done during the rainy season....then back together for a full season of AXing and TTing in 2007 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

From what I have read recently there are about 6-7K stickers left...
Luckily my wife and I both commute ~3-4 miles on surface streets to our offices.
No need for that butt ugly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) sticker on my nice new car.
We got it for an around town driver and some quick trips to Chico/Redding areas.

I'll have to bring the 914 out for one last round of autocrossing on the stock engine. I'm building an engine this winter too. I can't wait.
