The first hybrid I spotted while driving my brand spanking new 2004 Prius was an Insight. That was cool, since there aren't too many around here (Minnesota). But unfortunately, the driver didn't notice me. Would you?

I had a fun time way back playing with Insights on the road with my 2001 Prius. At first, they'd think I was just trying to get their attention to acknowledge their hybrid. Then after giving the thumbs up to them, I'd point at mine... then just stare. Eventually, some would light up with a expression of new found happiness realizing the encounter that just transpired. I'm very much looking forward to same again. So, start scanning the roads for a new hybrid.

Have any of you seen a 2004 Prius on the road yet?

At night, both the back & front are quite unique. During the day, the front may be tough. The back is easier, with the Insight style little tinted back window. And of course, the side-profile is pretty obvious.

I drove past a parked one and stopped to take a closer look. It should be even easier to spot than the old Prius and the Honda Civic Hybrid.

I always wave to other Insights, and watch for Prius or Civic Hybrid owners to wave first. I gave up waving to Prius owners because all the ones I saw in my area were oblivious and apparently over 70 years old. John, you give me hope, I will try again.
