    Posted this on my 2005 thread;

    QUOTE="Danny3xd, post: 2634349, member: 141233"]Stuber was going to drop me as my PRI was aging out. Also had just replaced rt ft bearing and struts. Man, the bearing was a beast! Took (Not a joke) 3 men and a 20 lbs sledge to knock it out of the knuckle. I should have just bought a 99$ press at Harbor Fright. Took days as I learned and did it. Really was a bear. And front end was a mess. Sire I messed up some thing but was grinding and just got to frustrated to climb under it one more day in November, Ct.

    So grabbed a $5k 2010 hybrid. Sat for a while and think stale gas and TPS light is on. But getting bummer MPG. 40/43.

    Have not changed fluids or filters yet. Checked maint. history and she was right on time with everything. TPS light freaked me out not understanding the symbol.

    127K miles on her. The heater keeps altering settings on it's own and oil soon due light came on, on day 2. Lol. Just figures. And needs tires.....

    But love the car. Base model with no bells or whistles

    congrats! who is stuber?

    ps, keep an eye on the oil, some are burners around 100k, and the egr and intake manifold need servicing.

    hehe, Stupid Uber, Bisman. Kinda burnt out on that gig, anyway. Picked up a couple of courier contracts and started producing engine kits you bolt on to bicycles.

    As a tech startup and an energy efficient form of transport. The state is considering giving me 30K grants.

    Your tax dollars at work, snork.

    I'll post a vid so that makes sence.
