This is drifting way off topic, but are you available for tutoring? I'm NOT an engineer, so I can't figure it out for the life of me. The Owner's...
That's certainly worth a go, thanks for the idea!
I'm having a tough time finding a switch I like for the factory location. The "proper" switch for a G2 (the one the rest of the world used) is...
So I've just done the EV mode mod. For the moment, I have a random momentary switch hanging off a piece of wire. I'm considering the switch... I...
Wow. That's foul. Were they transporting sheep or llamas in their car?
This is where DIY comes in to play. Per their last service, the previous owners of my car were told they were looking forward to spark plugs,...
Speaking as someone who just bought an '08... These cars are at an interesting spot on the depreciation curve. Whereas an '08 Prius cost $5k+...

Here's something else you might want to consider... what brand and model of electrical receptacle is installed? Some of the less expensive...
You can get a nice G2 for under $7500. I know, because I just did. Hard to find a good G3 for under $10k. $2500 buys a lot of gas!
$170 for spark plugs. Wow. On Amazon, the best Prius plugs are under $40 for the set. A drunk monkey could change Prius spark plugs in under an...
Yes, the IRS allows $0.535 cents per mile in write-offs for 2017. That means the first $32,100 of your income is tax free.
Well, if someone was paying me to drive my car 60k/year, I'd be buying a "new to me" used Prius with 60k on it every year, driving it to 120k, and...
