    Not enough to have a build thread.
    These are the gold jberry comments I save in the spank bank.

    But really, that's a good way to put it in perspective.

    Timely. I've been considering this more and more, and I just got a new laptop I need to set up, looking at Norton suite with the VPN and the Lifelock add-ons...

    Get yer GenSets prepped. PG&E is going to shut power off again. There is an offshore breeze and that's the first sign.

    Been averaging over 50 in the new Prius. 750 miles in the last 10 days and I've filled up once-and I'm pretty much at a full tank still. Wish I did the DD mod sooner but I do miss daily-ing the 4Runner. Need to get a battery tender for it to keep it happily parked.

    My BMW X-country 650 single motorcycle got 60 miles per gallon. And was fun to drive!

    I hate to say this but i may have to do this mod too. Gas is expensive even in the crv.......or maybe ill go back to driving my truck. Think im going to make a move after 14 years. Done with this company

    I definitely feel like I’m one of everyone else with the Prius but damn, it’s so much less stressful to drive than the 4Runner. I looked at things like CR-Vs, Outbacks, and Rav4s, but ultimately I needed something that was good for DDing and nothing else. An Outback would be cool but I already have a vehicle to get around in the snow and woods and whatever else.

    I pay less on my car payment plus gas than I would, gas for the 4Runner. Just front the extra insurance money every month which is worth it to me.
