Default New Hybrid owner

Hi all,
Just found this fourm today and signed up. Picked up a 2005 Civic hybrid this past saturday. I'm amazed with the level of comfort. Picked it up with 10 miles on it and logged 300 miles and still have slightly under the half tank mark. I traded in my 97 Chevy suburban (I secretly still miss that car). Also am the owner of 540i and WRX and unfortunatley both require premium fuel. This is hybrid is going to be our daily driver and shuttle kids around town car. Anyway, just wanted to say hi.
Bill

Welcome and congrats on your new HCH. I've had mine for about 4 months and its been great.

Be sure to post your tanks in the "compare section" to track the MPG progress of your HCH.

You're going to LOVE having a hybrid. I wrote an article on my personal website about my 3-year, 81k-mile experience with my 2003 HCH. It's been a blast!
If you're interested in reading it, go to www.gaianar.com, then click "Commentary".

Welcome to the club!

It's sort of a small link. On the Lefthand menu bar, towards the bottom, you'll see a cluster of four link-boxes that read "new stuff: 2005", "Join our email list", "Designer's Commentary", and "Bits & Pieces". Choose "Designer's commentary. (www.gaianar.com)

I don't really drive the WRX much except to car club events and some weekend spirited driving. I'm looking forward to my first fill up, seems like it's taking forever to get there. Wow, now that's a real problem everyone else wished they had.
I'm still learning how to navigate through this site and finding some great information.
