Separate names with a comma.
There most certainly are shadetree Prius mechanics, and the line between "pro" and "shadetree" capability has been getting fuzzier all the time....
We're just one more of six and a half billion pieces of meat. . We're not that important, and neither are our communications. . Hang up and...
Well, for one thing it's all low sulfur, which incurs additional processing expense. And of course the oil markets are just nuts, with little...
As JimboK noted a while back, the sweet spot of engine operation generally seems to occur when MPG reads between 1 * MPH and 0.5 * MPH. That's...
And let's remember that the Prius throttle control algorithms are very likely to put that high load on the engine right off the bottom, because...
Agreed on the block heater, and throw in an EV switch while you're at it. You can use it to prevent a lot of excess engine run during warmup...

Why would you have to isolate anything? If a remote start has a couple of dry-contact relay outputs, it would be easy enough to simulate the...

The problem, of course, with going for the cheaper goods is that it dumps more money into guess where, economies that are already at odds with...
I might have missed a post about it, but what did you replace it with? . "my hands and a couple of wrenches" is the wrong answer... . _H*
Uh... priuschat is a unix box. It doesn't get "spyware" as such, unless you count cross-site scripting hacks which would be pretty easy to...
Ah, the usual can of worms. I'll merely point out that tire bursting strength is in the neighborhood of 200. . _H*
If it's for work, you probably want to run it on resources that you genuinely control and keep it private. Sure, hundreds of sensitive corporate...
