    She decided to mix it up and replace her silver sky metallic Prius III (with solar roof) with a...silver sky metallic RAV4 hybrid Limited. She has a type. "Look, it matches my old sun visor!"

    Anyhoo...

    Drives like it's on rails, has a shit-ton of power, comfortable ride, and more options than China has people.

    It has a programmable touch-screen smart rear-view mirror. HOLY FUCKBALLS HOW DO I USE THIS GODDAMN THING?!?! I JUST WANT TO GO BACKWARDS!! All the warning noises in the world if your bumpers get too close to something (nice), fully automated driver's seat (screw passengers), and a ton more stuff I need to read the manual and take 3 classes at ACC to learn how to use.

    Cool AF.




    I still love my truck more, but I do not hate the RAV4 like I hated the Prius.

    And doesn't driving a Prius require you to tuck your balls between your legs? That's what I heard... :D

    That’s a fallacy - you don’t have to tuck them. The seating position in a Prius is such that they just fall that way. I can’t say how many times I crushed my boys getting in and out of that fucking car.

    So glad it’s gone.

    Thanks. We ordered it "everything delete" - no port installed options except the body side moldings. I put Husky mats in immediately (took them with me to the dealership) and we have mud flaps, door sill protectors, and the coolest integrated dash cam inbound via Amazon.
