    Those wheels look great on the BP. Enjoy!!
    I've been wheel window shopping for months while I wear away the oem rubber, always seem to back to looking at them. Too many choices..

    Installed my new clean cabin air filter. So fresh and so clean! image.jpg
    Dirty cabin air filter on the left with tons of dirt, dust, twigs, and even a small leaf. Brand new clean cabin air filter on the right.

    Nice drop with the coils.

    Do you notice any difference between the Tanabe vs Cusco stb?

    I'm at 30K miles. This is the first time I changed the cabin air filter. It was way overdue!

    30K with the original filter? That's a long run. I thought perhaps you lived a dusty area like the desert or something.

    I must say. It feels much firmer with the turns

    I hope you're not using your car. If you are, you are quite brave. :LOL:

    Yeah- I'm already seconding guessing that decision. But I figure the "eco" mode in the PIP is pretty tame- so it should be a good way to avoid jack-rabbit starts.
    I plan on bringing her to a local church (large) parking lot tomorrow morning and let her do some straight driving, some stops, starts- just the basics. As soon as we progress to parking, etc- those lessons will be in the 2003 CRV that will be hers this summer. I was planning to remove the winter tires/rims this weekend and install my nice summer tires/rims- but I think I'll hold off on that a bit now...
    My finger will be hovering over the "P" button tomorrow morning for the first few min anyway!

    I learned to drive in a stick shift 5.0 Mustang. Now that's jack rabbit starts! The Prius is nothing :)
