Finally, we have gotten our mits on a Prius. It was a bit of a battle, but due to Sarah's resourcefulness we were able to source the exact car (colour and options) that we wanted at another dealer in Tracy (about an hour's drive away), so yesterday we went and picked it up.
It's very cool. Now, if I can just figure out how to reconfigure the climate control system to talk Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, we're laughing...
I think I'll have fun hacking this car.
