17 improvements that would make the PRI a supercar.

I would add the following items to the list:

 

For people who are tall and cant see the traffic lights, here is a item for you. I had a MINI Cooper S before this car and this was a must because the car had a short windshield. Just transferred to the Prius. Well worth the few dollars.

OH yeah!!!

I had to make a customized route recently. Because the NAV system had me going over 150 more miles than I needed to go to get to my destination. I had to put a "waypoint" at an intersection on my route and include that in the destination. How come I couldn't save that route?

How come there is no way to review past routes? No way to re-play the last month worth of routes that that vehicle has taken.

Seems like if this NAV system is so expensive, it should do what my Garmin hand held does.

 

Jeff:

Yep you are, close to my age I'd say.

But those babes were HOT though. MMMMmmmm.

Which video? "Legs" or "Sharp Dressed Man".

I read about them on the history channel.

 

Mark:

The babes are in both.

However, when they get out of the hotrod and flash thigh, that's "Sharp Dressed Man."

"Read about them on the History Channel" now I really *do* feel my age.

Thanks!

Actually 2 of them are wearing slacks in "Sharp Dressed Man" and the 3rd is wearing a skirt almost to the knees. I know that because I went and found them back on the 28th on the internet, back when I read this thread. Just for old times sake.

"Legs" is the one with the super mini skirts and "thighs".

And as for..."Read about them on the History Channel". That was a joke. I'm 52. I remember those videos quite well.

Whenever I bring up some old TV show or commercial in conversation, I always follow it up with "I read about it on the history channel". I try to beat all those comments about "You're showing your age".

I thought I read that Costal E Tech was doing a hatch releace.

 

Mark:

My memory sure isn't what it used to be. That came out when, 20 years ago? Must be the Junior Alzheimer's!

I would like to be able to fold/unfold the outside mirrors from the inside. My daughter's Passat lets her do that. Today I was out, looked at the passenger side window and it was folded in since someone had to get past the car in our garage and didn't put it back (he will be reminded when he gets home). Anyway, it is a nice feature to be able to control that from inside the car.

 

He has one for the classic. I can't see why it couldn't be adapted for the trunk. If door unlock function is detected 3 times in short succession, operate hatch release. Only one problem I could see with this. Hatch doesn't spring up to keep it unlatched.

 

funny.. we all have our opinion of what a super prius is. Mine would include a suspension that doesn't sway as much. the car is stiff... but could be a little better. An electric motor attached to the back axle for added traction. The new toyota diversity stavility control.. er.. whatever it is.. so you can accelerate while your wheels spin. I wonder how the new systems designed for the 400h and such would do in the prius? they would get really good mileage. Might have to make the prius a mid engine car though. lol.

the prius has the perfect potential to be an actual super car. low center of gravity, etc. with mods this car would be even more awesome. as is, the performance is good. i've raced acuras and lexus several times. every once and a while a bmw too. they happen to have a higher top speed. besides that, the prius can keep up at highway speeds. as long as i'm driving
