Twitter Poll: Tell us about a First! #Firsts #PriusC

I had a great time test driving the Toyota Prius c a few weeks ago.  It was the first time I had ever driven a Prius or a Toyota of any kind.

As I mentioned earlier this week, the word Prius means “to come before,” or “first” which explains why Toyota probably named the first mainstream hybrid car a “Prius.”

Most of us have plenty of firsts (Priuses??) in our own lives – especially in our twenties.  Some of those firsts shape our careers and lives more than we realize.

This year has been full of firsts for me and I wanted to hear from you guys!  I polled some of our Twitter followers to find out about a recent “first” they experienced!

Tell us about a first in your life!
