I have owned my 2006 Barcelona Red Prius for a year now. Picked her up on 06-01-02. Is it to late for me to hang with you guys?

This is my first new car and I love it so much I will never go back to a regular car again.

So far I have put 9500 miles on it.

I'm averaging 59mpg

Best tank is 70.4mpg @ 607.9 miles

Current upgrades and mods...
Personal license plate "BOO GAS"
Lower front spoiler
Touring rear spoiler
Colored lower rear spoiler
Arrow dynamic hubcaps
JDM side markers
3M Clear Bra
PIAA wipers all around
19" rear wiper upgrade
28" front wiper upgrade
Cool Prius emblem on the side
Mobil1 5w30 ( will be switching to 0w20 next change )
Nushield MFD protector
JDM EV button
JDM IPA switch used for anytime front or rear camera selection

Hope I did not forget anything.

Mods, upgrades, and stuff that I still want...
Can-View
CarPC
Wheel skin red and black
Wet Okole seat covers red and black



I have been reading a lot of posts here lately and found some very good information. I want to try to spend some more time over here. Maybe help out a little and learn some new stuff. My new years resolution is to get my tanks posted in the database.

Welcome to CleanMPG!

You seem like a Cars fan. :)

Is that a real smile or a PhotoShop job?

Hi TheForce:

___That was one heck of an introduction! A new Prius owner with Can-View and Carputer on his list plus running a 59 lmpg is not just any ordinary new car owner in my book. Congratulations!

___You just have to post some info on the camera mod(s). I would also like to see a close-up of the custom Prius appliqué on the side and a very detailed post on the underbody partition plates you have installed while you are at it. One of our well-respected members, Tim - Brick, just picked up his Prius II a few weeks ago and is considering a few mods including CAN-View. Our esteemed Admin, Tbaleno is installing a Carputer piecemeal in his HCH-I as I type. Are you looking at a Coastal Tech CAN-View solution or one of the online solutions from scratch?

___I am currently trying to convince the wife that the Prius II or upcoming Prius III is the vehicle of choice for her rather then a loaded up TCH. With a few more pics like those you linked, maybe I can convince her of the error of her ways ;)

___Southern Ohio, ha? Are you heading to Georgetown, KY. For the Camry factory tour in a few weeks as you are not that far away?

___And about the Prius “Cars” Photochop. You are obviously a man of many talents. Is her real name the “Tour De Force” or something similar?

___Ok, enough of the superfluous requests. Get those tanks posted and we will see you back in the forums very soon.

___Good Luck and welcome to CleanMPG.

welcome, those are some very nice rims!

Welcome...

Nice PII you have there.

Have a good one.

Thanks everyone.

I spend most of my time over at priuschat.com but I will try to post some of my mods over here too.

I have a CAN-View V4 from http://www.hybridinterfaces.ca in the mail right now. I'm going to try to see if it will work with the in dash Lilliput screen I ordered. Hope to have them by the end of the week to test.

I think I will try to go to the tour of the Georgetown plant. Have to see if I can get anyone to go with me. Only a two hour drive. :)

The Cars picture is a real smile from my car! Just kidding. I made it with Photoshop. I made one for my parents to. They have a white Yaris and it turned out better than mine.

Welcome! I'm really looking forward to reading about how you like the V4 CAN-View. It looks like an incredible tool, though I wish there were a way to make it work with the MFD in the '06-07 rather than having to run it through a separate screen. Oh well, you can't have everything! Happy Prius-ing.
