Actually, you're right. But you're welcome to conduct your activities on the forum, like the Mazda and Ford Club and BMW drivers club guys do.

Maybe organize a physical meet and greet before trying to collect emails and phone numbers. Quite a lot of unethical uses for lists like that, better to meet people and see if you can trust them first.

Amen!

Hi invitation was to "intelligent" people who is smart enough to get a Prius , sorry i didn't know the rules related to publishing Telephone number

Since prius became more popular recently in Sri Lanka and government of SL's proactive legislation on duty helped a lot. we are still in the planning stage. I welcome Prius owners (1st gen including) (only prius owners) to express their views and suggestions what they require from the PPOCSL (Proud Prius Owners of Sri Lanka)

It is very sad when world is moving forward with new technologies some loosers are still becoming victims of outdated scrap metal and call them CARS

you all have to change , sooner the better.

Dude, take your attitude and flush it down the toilet with the rest of your excrement. The Prius became popular in SL ONLY due to a tax break, not coz of any intelligence on part of the buyers. In fact, said intelligence could be further questioned on people to jumped in line to buy what they thought was a bargain when there were no facilities for maintaining the vehicles in the country! Not the high mark of intelligence. More a gamble, if enough cars come in, sooner or later the maintenance facilities will open, so hope and pray you get a good car and nothing goes wrong before that time. And in that hope, lots decided to get OLD, USED cars.

Its actually quite appropriate that you said "intelligent", quotes and all. Ironically so.

And it will be even sadder when all you so called Proud Prius Owners are doddering in around in your old Prius, while the rest of us are going EV or fuel cell.

Yay for the up-to-date, cutting edge tech prius owners, who own the a two generations old version of a technology developed in 1899! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lohner-Porsche_Mixte_Hybrid

Dude,

You had the right to call for a club and voice your thoughts about the damn Prius, however annoying it was to the majority of this forum. So people here had been nothing but respectful of your so called PP club.

Now you go and try to be a d*ck head to insult those people who had been patient with you...

So eat lead...

Just because you bought a Prius, it does not make you intelligent. Just because others are happy with their conventional cars, it does not make them losers, and does not make their cars scrap metal. Also, I personally think that the name PPOCSL (Pee PocSL) sounds funny. What is with the Proud part in the name? Why not simply Prius Owners Club? and why are other Hybrid owners left out? Only the people who bought Prii are "intelligent" & proud & the ones who did not buy Prii or stick with conventional cars are unintelligent/losers ? Is that the message you are trying to convey? No wonder some of you newbies with such an attitude take a beating.

So Mr. DumbAss Intelligent Prius Owner, how does owning a Prius makes you any more intelligent than a man who bought an Alto for 1/4 the price and spends 1/10th the maintenance cost... And whose repairs can be done by a trained monkey with a sledgehammer?

I think all most Hybrid drivers are Inbred...

Proud Loser with 2 outdated scrap heaps...

I do find it interesting that 'prius' first shows up 2 days after 'califonican' last showed up.

Either its the same dude or all prius owners have to be smug about their cars.

Wow wow......so now you call your self intelligent because you bought a prius after the govt taxes.......for me this does not show how intelligent you are but how stingy you are to buy a real car..... Calling a prius a car and the rest junk.....is like calling an ape a human..........anyways any one knows what a real car is.....

I second that. Why don't we make it hybrid owners club. Then there will be more members and more interaction.

That's a garage number plate. Traditionally they are red/white, but i have noted a few who have it in black/white & black/yellow to make them look like the standard plates. You dont notice the anomaly unless you're the type thats looks at the plates of vehicles that pass by. I guess they owner is just trying to run the car 'unregistered' for as long as possible without getting stopped by a cop.

If those are garage numbers how did someone imported a 1st gen Prius. That model was discontinued in 2004 Afaik.According to SL regulations cars older than 3 1/2 years (now 2 yrs)can't be imported. Unless the guy was having that garage number for few years!
