    I won't say anything scary about the banhammer because the mods here are really not super trigger-happy and there isn't much history of anybody getting banned without really cruising for it.

    But I will put this idea out: if you say stuff like "if anyone X then I'm going to Y", you're sort of telling people how your strings can be pulled, and there are a few people on this forum who will pull them on purpose, and watch you react, and possibly draw a mod's attention away from them where it belongs, to you.

    A key to having that not happen is to remember that you always get to choose whether you're going to respond at the same level as someone trying to provoke you, or at a better level.

    There was a new member around here earlier this year who did get a temporary ban, precisely because he had trouble remembering that, and kept letting his strings get pulled when he could have chosen not to.

    I understand the words of wisdom. Tough not to counter punch. I do love a good physical fight though :)

    Remember this in post #9? Trying to correct spelling, claiming we're making false statements about Facts, then flying off the handle hurling insults is over the top. I have no idea why you went there so early in the game for no reason.

    Over being wrong a Prius discussion forum? If this does happen, we need to record it and make money from it...the proceeds can buy you a Sodium Ion battery for that little M&M you drive. :confused:;)

    Firstly your mistaken and assumed something not true. "Thats" That word was there by mistake from my reply. Second "Thats" is not correct spelling anyway it's wrong. Third, what word of your was that supposed to correct? Forth, look at all the mistakes I made on my first post. I'm not even a good speller my self to criticize others which I don't do even if I was.

    Wrong with what? Point out were I'm wrong. I already pointed out one of your mistakes in assuming.

    Show me were I said someone is making a false statements.

    YOU started with the insult first "Another self indulgent internet troll with nothing better to do than demand answers and cry about spelling mistakes" You also wrongly assumed I was correcting a selling mistake.

    It's normal to discuss things and exchange and debate on information. Any person who doesn't is not a critical thinker. If you can't handle that then don't respond with an answer. Of coarse I'm going to ask questions. That doesn't mean I don't believe what the person is saying. It means I want to know more about it to also bring my own conclusions.

    Responding to post #20

    I live in the high desert and Im only an hour and a half away from Las Vegas.

    Today the outside temp was 85-95F during my drive to Morongo Casino.

    Had the AC on full blast there and back.

    Once on the 15 freeway Northbound the sodium GT has no problem letting me keep up with others on the freeway doing 70+mph with AC on blast.

    Still did 47mpg with three people onboard.

    The sodium-ion battery definately gives more power to the wheels compared to the lithium versions.

    Did not go below two bars from full during the trip.

    Battery pack temps on stayed around 100F

    The first several of your posts trying to discredit Azusa and Myself with our first hand knowledge about weight of the batteries and performance by arguing and posting old screenshots of old data from Jack's website that we told you is in progress of being updated, but then you replied with some rude expletive...so whatever.


    See, I like those kind of insults...they are funny to me but you probably rehearsed that in the mirror before typing it in your best Robert DeNiro voice and facial expressions didn't you? This wagon can run circles around the M&M buddy..all day, every day.

    Thanks for that info.

    I would run the fan on higher speed if you want to cool it down more.

    That doesn't make sense and it would not do that.

    Actually Jack says the temp of 80-100F is optimum to get full power from the battery pack and the sodium-ion pack is made to stay in that range.

    Trust that I am well versed with these packs and know the optimum range also.

    :ROFLMAO: 1.5 versus 1.8 stock versus stock it's still faster than a Prius C...let alone the mods done. Another $10k bounty race being offered after the santa fe driver's wife declined.

    Back to another drag race, California and Louisiana this time.

    Might still be easier just to find a good online escrow service, put the $10k there, and visit some local tracks and get timeslips.
