I saw two Priuses … Prii … Prium … Prien … of those Toyotas recently. One had the licence plate ‘SMUG’ and the other ‘FFFFFF’. They were both white and get great mpg.
No it doesn’t.  I’m a pretty quick thinker.  ![]()
A cargo net on a Prius? I don’t get it
Like this. Keeps your groceries from falling over and spilling. (Non-groceries, too.) They also make a floor net so you can put things on the floor of the cargo area and keep it from rolling around.
It’s because only OFs like me can afford them. We drive reasonably. I do drive the speed limit or a little more.
My 13 year old, paid for baby can still top 120 mph, but I just don’t do that to her. (Hubby has.) That would be like making me run a mile. I could do it, but at what cost?
A blown motor? (You, not the car)
The SO drove the car to work Tuesday night, and last night she suggested I get another smart key. She’s a little nervous about only having one. I told her I’d called ToS, and how much they want to reprogram the old one.
I called the local dealer (from whom I bought the car) this morning, and they said they can reprogram my old fob for $95. I have an appointment for Tuesday morning. I’ll have to remember to ask them to make a new physical key as well.
They also ordered the D-rings for the cargo net. (See here to see what they are, and how they go on.) Five dollars and change, and I’ll have to buy an 8 mm or 19/64" drill bit if I don’t have one already. They didn’t have a picture, so I hope it’s the right ‘hardware kit’.
What’s that? Pope Pius is dead? Thought everybody knew that.
A Prius of that vintage does 0-60 in about 10 seconds.
My BMW, which is pretty old (1997 M3) does 0-60 in about 6 seconds…some mags claimed mid 5s.
My WRX does it even faster than that, in the 4s if you are willing to launch it hard. A new Corvette Stingray with all the bells and whistles is said to do it in 3.8.
10 seconds is an eternity. Are you racing people who don’t know they are racing?
Motor Trend’s slowest cars of 2012 will let you know what’s in the ballpark.

A Prius doesn’t go fast enough to make that sound. ![]()
It’s still quick enough to out-accelerate people, the way they drive up here!
Sorry, I’ve heard people say far dumber things about cars that weren’t joking, so I took a chance. ![]()
