I have a truck that goes through gas like kavanaugh goes through beer at a kegger.

My wife has a personal business that requires her to drive 100+ miles a day. Bought her a used 2014 Prius for like $13K that looks & smells brand new and she fills up once a week for like $25.

Since she charges her clients for mileage its like the car is printing money.

Looking up TSBs there are like zero. Toyota hasn't changed the car in like 10 years so its virtually troublefree.

SJW/lesbo issues aside, this is a great second or third car for everyone to own.

Why do they have to make the hybrid type cars so damn ugly?

It's perfect for taxi drivers, who I think may make up the bulk of Prius and Camry Hybrid sales.

My wife drove her ex-BMW this weekend and she's pissed at me for not keeping her cleaner than I do.

the best part is an idiot like me can keep it running. i've replaced the alternator, battery, fan clutch, fuel pump and a couple of other things and all you need is a good ebay source for cheap parts and like a screwdriver.

these are pretty easy and cheap to maintain once you get the gremlins sorted out.

I’ve only had to rotate tires and change oil in my Tacoma.

I didn't give her gas money when she came over here and got on these nuts.

fan clutch,


Been there. Was more of a PITA than I thought it would be. Broke a stud off trying to get the thermostat housing free. Good times.
