Nice write up! Agree 1000% on all accounts.

Agree with you but I always looking for the "rocking chair" position if it's possible to find as in a fast one in front and one or more following me.

Toyota has built in safeguards and you can never fully drain the battery to 0%, nor can you fully charge to 100%. Forget the exact numbers but they leave about 20% at each  end of the curve. That’s why the battery warranty is for 10 years or 150K.

The Toyota Prime vehicles are awesome! At city speeds I get over 50 miles on a charge in summer. In cold Wisconsin it drops to the upper thirties in winter. Rarely use gas and pay about $2.25 for a full charge. Rav4 Prime, first car I ever loved.

I take it you never use the engine.

Sounds like a PHEV if you mainly do around town trips. 21k on my RAV4 Prime am at 73 mpg. 

Think at least most of us know he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Hey neighbor make that two of us. Perfect for winter here in Wisconsin to keep the salt off of the nice cars NP!

Disagree, cleats properly adjusted and with float are great.

For most people if and or when a crash happens the first impulse is to stick out your hands, wearing gloves presents or minimizes getting “raw meat hamburger hands”. If you are thinking about toe straps don’t, go check out clipless pedals that work like a ski binding, safer and just an ankle twist motion to release…

There are five grades of ass clowns and everybody slots into one one of them. Grade 1 is the worst, they have no idea nor would they accept that they are an a ass clown they have very little hope of working their way up the scale in the future. To work your way up the scale realizing that you’re are an ass clown is…

Yawn.

This!

Agree 100%, trickle down bullshit.

Been issues since Reagan.

Lifetime union guy but I don’t think the hyperbole from both sides is the way to proceed. Sit down at the big table and get to work.

Believe it or not category. Last year I was offered 55K for a two year old RAV4 Prime with 18,000 miles on it. I paid 44K out the door after the tax credit when I bought it. The current offer is lower but insanity still rules.

Isn’t that called pocket change for anything that runs in this day and age? NP.

Careful please!! I biked to work for a couple of decades and it’s changed so much for the worse as in firearms and distracted drivers I wouldn’t do it anymore for self preservation.

Agree with you 100%.
