    I'm new here. I used Facebook for years, but now I'm here.

    I had a 2013 Gen 3 Prius, but recently hit a cow with it. As you can imagine, that wasn't exactly good for the Prius. :(

    I just bought a 2024 Prius to replace it and brought it home today. Yay! I already have a couple of minor annoyances. The seat belt chime is one of them. I need to find a way to stop it from going off when my backpack is on the passenger seat, since it weighs enough to trigger the warning.

    I also somewhat live out of my Prius. The new one is an LE, and I'll have to figure out how to make the cargo area flat enough to sleep in. It should be simple enough to build a small platform.

    I spend so much time in my car because I'm a traveling IT tech and drive about 6,000 miles a month. I'm often out for days at a time. I've been living the Prius lifestyle for the last two years, and I've loved it!

    Anyway, it's good to be here, and I look forward to learning more.

    I also want to get rid of the 2013. It no longer drives, but the engine still runs, and I have an extra set of tires for it. I don't know what the policy is here on selling vehicles.

    Good to be here!
