hello from me!
i love to talk, so be gentle when you tell me to put a sock in it.. 
the short story is that i've been pro-hybrid for about twenty years, but only got to buy one in april of '04. i don't drive all that much, as a retiree, and put about 4000 miles on the baby in the first 12 months. then, drove it cross-country three times [L O N G story is at http://www.plusaf.com/prius/prius.htm and http://www.plusaf.com/coast/coast1.htm.
moved from Cupertino, CA to Raleigh, NC last summer, and my wife and i are loving it here in Raleigh!
i'm largely technoid, too, so you can read about things i've done and will be doing to customize the Prius, like adding a tow hitch and some other Coastal Electronics things....
and, of course, i'm OCD enough to scribble down darned near every detail of the car as i go. [except for outside temperature, guys.... ]
glad to be here and good to meet you!

Re: hello from me!
thank you, tiger...
my "auto-yes-to-NAV" circuit is on the way from Coastal. unfortunately, somehow they picked up my old California address, and now they're trying to get UPS to figure out where North Carolina is...

Welcome plusaf!
I think I might have you beat. I did 36K miles my first year. At two years I'm almost at 60K miles already!
Nice to know we have another teckie "in the house"
