Hi All:

___Another item I wish I would have seen while I was at the meet. Bradlee told me that the black Prius II with the Prius Hybrid sticker on the side had some very interesting seat covers. The best he has ever seen in fact given the glowing description. Does anyone have the contact information of that particular owner as I would love for him to post a pic or two as well as the details for other Prius II owners to consider for their own as well?

___LofB, I hear you loud and clear! I was in a perfect traffic jam for the Prius II driving home from work tonight. I was in the Ranger using my normal Forced autostops at an almost perfect 45 miles per hour (the Ranger doesn’t care about top speed before a Glide maneuver because it doesn’t have the ICE to synch with an MGSet above 42 miles per hour ) and Pulsing at 25 miles per hour on up. The traffic ebbed and flowed with this 25 - 45 miles per hour range for ~ 3 miles before it headed right on back up to up hyper speed. It is to bad I did not have a Prius for that 5 - 10 minutes as the technique would have worked fantastic tonight vs. the more usual stop and go for 50’, stop and go for ½ a mile at 5 - 20 miles per hour, stop and go for 1 block, and stop and go right on back to 65 + just before Halfday Road all the way to Route 60 on I-94 Northbound just North of Chicago … The Ranger does not have an instantaneous or averaging display of any kind so I haven’t a clue as to what she actually received but she does pretty good regardless

___Good Luck
