Motorweek Long Term Prius Update

frbill · 09-04-2004, 10:02 PM

Our Prius got a really good report on Motorweek today. I captured it on my Replay and it is now uploaded onto my Prius site. If this need to be moved to news, please do so.

Thanks for posting the video and your site Bill. Great stuff. I have added you to my page under Prius websites.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does the Fr. stand for? I would like to give you a title if you have one.

Thanks,

Jeff

it MIGHT stand for 'freaky' but in reality i believe from prior postings that fr bill is 'father bill', a religious sort of guy

Yes, it's true. We have representatives from many different professions and pursuits on this board including a bonified Roman Catholic Priust - er, Priest

Motorweek's long term test page is at http://www.mpt.org/motorweek/longterm/

The Prius entry has not yet been updated, however.

I like the last sentence of the non-updated page . . . “ Now we just need more of them.”
Sums it up nicely.

Great videos, Bill. Thanks for those. One small nit: the guy on the History Channel says, right at the end, that with regen braking "you don't lose any of that energy." We know, of course, that a chunk of that energy is indeed lost to conversion inefficiency, but at least he got the general concept in there.

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the addition to your page. I have been a bit busy the past couple of days. You see, Fr. = Father which is my honorary title as a Roman Catholic Priest. My liscence plate(if it ever gets here) is Priust 1. My vocation and vehicle rolled into one expression.

COOL !!!

Priuschat has made another word!!

Priust: one who extolls the virtues of the Prius automobile.

Sounds to me more like "Catholic priest who drives a Prius."

Credo en unum automobileum.
