    Tyler Hoover is one of the youtubers I follow because he is pretty entertaining. I thought I'd share his latest video.

    There was a discussion of him a few weeks back in the main Gen 2 subforum after he bought the car and repaired the battery:

    Here's his newest video, part 1, second part to come:


    Here's his column about it on Autotrader:

    Here's an intermediate update. I thought the paint needed some correction work, but he's getting the whole thing painted. And NOS?o_O

    I'm not even sure he's kidding...going with a Fast and the Furious theme - including NOS. Think this is the decal he is talking about..

    I would love to see him to the 1NZFE cam swap AND some nitrous...even have someone in mind that can tune the ECU for the Prius to handle it all.

    Hi first Prius video where he purchased a Prius with a dead battery was one of the reasons I bought my 2006. It showed me that it’s such a great daily. Cheap to fix and reliable.
