    Unpopular opinion, but my girl had a first gen prius for awhile, and it was legit. Still bummed I sold it for her.

    Enough to stick it in. That’s all that matters when you’re whippin’ around in a Prius.

    $400 a month on gas blows. Might as well buy a Prius. Rather spend the same on a used Prius payment plus gas over gas for 4Runner

    Been looking at second and third gen ones. My only criteria is it isn’t red. I’d feel like a bitchy soccer mom in a red Prius

    You’ve never seen how good I look in a Prius

    Spotted this absolute unit of a Hilux in Berkeley, driving down Sacramento street. Looks brand new.

    I got one and hate driving it till I go to gas station then it is all smiles. DD my truck would cost me almost 4 times more per month and that is almost like a car payment by it self. Brought it used for 7K and hybrid battery died at 149K miles. Luckily Toyota had 150K or 10 year warranty so got lucky and got free new battery. I am going to drive that little till wheels fall off lol.

    Being manual and running 285’s (along with future plans to supercharge) I want to regain some top end for better freeway cruz’n, it’s not worth it to pay for 4.56’s because it ain’t that big of a difference over 4.88 so I’m hoping to find someone who’s down or if I have to I’m kicking around 4.10. By the way the previous owner had the gears done because he had 35”s...and for what I’m doing with the vehicle I’m sticking with 33”s...
