I had a Rambler American station wagon, that I put a piece of 2" foam in the back with swag carpet on top. It was great for the drive-in movie...
The interstate here has a speed limit of 75mph. I routinely drive at 80mph. I do not see any 'need' to pass anyone at those speeds. I do pass...
I can see that. I remember those days too. :) I have driven some very 'gutless' vehicles. How about a Rambler American with a 119...
New car with a loan, full coverage as required by the bank. We are in Maine.
We pay around $450/year for our '11 Prius.
We do get frost-heaves here. Cycling from frozen-ground to thawed-ground causes boulders and culverts to shift in position and lift up. We...

I have driven the Prius with four large adults and 2-weeks worth of luggage on a road-trip last summer for 4200 miles. I did not notice any lack of...
Did not think of that. Thanks. It never occurred to me that driving in a different vehicle the bluetooth would go that far.
This is the first car we have owned that had bluetooth. My wife does not get into the options and electronics much. She does not want her cellphone...
I do.
So far I have hauled piglets, and chickens in our Prius. :) My truck died so the last 2 weeks my wife has brought home feed after work. Not as much...
I have no real data on how long it takes for the ICE to 'warm-up'. I based my opinions on our observations from how long it takes to blow warm...
