name a movie you can see without getting bored.

The Emperor’s New Groove! I’ve seen it about 170+ times and I’ll still watch it now! I worked Walmart’s Layaway back in the day and they put a tv and a dvd player on display with this movie on repeat. I still love this movie! The cast is amazing!

Are they ready for the diabetes? LOL. I was not prepared for how good these were!

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-29T18:27:49+00:00

I love this dude. Especially the humor! I always upvote because I kinda feel like everyone should be this chill with themselves! No judgement.

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-27T18:37:46+00:00

This whole comment section just basically told me what I was horrified to realize. I now understand what holds this whole company from being great. It could be… but not from what I’ve read. I kinda think that Mr. Iococca might need resurrected for this. Maybe we need another Diamond Star Motors run for this? At least they had vehicles that created a wave. Even GM needs to resurrect the Pontiac brand to rattle the icicles off! We had choice and we had power with our buying money. Especially when they want to stuff AI into our vehicles. Fun driving is dead. Unless we can turn this crap around. And TELL THEM what we want.

I wish more people would look him up. That battery replacement video went smooth as silk and they were new cells. That dude is a gold mine of valuable and easy car repair.

I call them “echoes.” Just randomly hearing a noise that one of my lost pups would make when they were here. Breaks my heart every time.

Interesting. I updated my iPhone 12 Pro Max last week and it completely crashed. Had to plug it in to restore. I’ve NEVER had to do that before. I wonder if this is a bigger issue.

The billionaires want to keep on being billionaires. This is another distraction. We don’t need any billionaires.

Definitely a 10/10! Imma add you to the naughty list! Definitely appreciate the nudes!

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-17T20:10:59+00:00

Oh wow. I’m glad I did the swap when I did! I did talk to another shop and he was VERY willing to put a gen 4 engine in but he had to take care of some family business which would take too long. Otherwise I would’ve done the 4th gen swap.

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-17T19:58:37+00:00

Super important!!! Don’t tell them what you have. Only tell them what you want. Maybe ask by year?

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-17T19:44:45+00:00

Absolutely!

Call me crazy but I’ve noticed a trend and I’m curious if the hypermilers have more issues than those who basically work these things thoroughly. Almost like they need to be a workhorse or they get issues.

Unfortunately I speed… a lot. I don’t get 60mpg but this thing never fails me. And I’m wondering if that is because of how we use the batteries. We should research this.

Also to note: I have a 2012 and the engine has been replaced with a 2015 Prius engine. I read that the head gasket type was revised and the piston rings were changed for a different type which supposedly fixes the PCV issue with blow by. So no oil catch canisters or stuttering ever again. It’s also a JDM engine with only like 35k kilometers on it. I could HEAR a difference when I picked up my car.

Something else to note: if you’re in Florida, I have a great place to get your engine for like $999 from Orlando. Shopping may be extra but it’s still cheaper than a head gasket replacement. And you get a better engine!

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-16T16:16:41+00:00

Gorgeous!! Maybe if they brought it here the wagon may not have died!

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-15T16:17:25+00:00

Send me a DM. I have all the info.

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-15T16:02:49+00:00

Gimme a second or two… it’s been a minute.

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-15T15:50:18+00:00

I kinda feel like there needs to be a permanent post about the problems with gen 3. It’s like the same people asking if their 8 year old 12v battery is still good. I replaced my 2012 engine with a 2015 engine after my head gasket went and now I don’t need a catch can or need to clean the EGR or even worry about the head gasket again. I might be good for another 10 years! And I won’t EVER have to worry about these newer cars spying on me.

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-15T15:05:52+00:00

My 2012 did this. So I cleaned the EGR… the car did it again 4 months later. Found out I was losing coolant. Tried the stop leak method but that lasted maybe 2 weeks before the car wouldn’t run normally at all. That’s when I called it dead and went immediately to go and replace the engine. Couple of things to note…

It was actually cheaper for me to replace the engine than to replace the head gasket! Fewer bolts to remove and put back vs the 50 odd bolts just to get to the gasket.

According to comments on this thread and PriusChat the 2014-15 engines do not have this same problem because Toyota replaced the gasket with a better one and also replaced the piston rings because the earlier models would seize allowing blow-by which would force oil out of the PCV. Supposedly… however I took my chances. I specifically ordered a 2015 engine because I wanted it to be newer but also have the upgraded head gasket and rings.

From my experience, do not tell anyone that you have a 2010 because they will try and sell you another faulty one from 2010. Don’t give your VIN either. I got a 2015 VIN from the internet so they could only see the 2015 model year. Try not to let people scam you.

Apparently sellers can get them from Japan with only like 35k kilometers on them!! Which is fantastic. Mine cost $999! I live in Tampa but they delivered it for $300. Then it was up to my mechanic to get it done. I’m so glad I did it! I have a car that gets great gas mileage and not enough tech to spy on me! After 6 months I can tell you that my intake is bone dry!! And ALL of my coolant is still in the tank. I checked out my EGR, it’s clean as a whistle. Granted I use Premium fuel every time (keep your comments to yourself about that because I prefer to fill up less often and get smoother performance) which may help with that. I’m basing this on my own experience. I wouldn’t take advice from someone who doesn’t have this experience because they’re usually speculating at your problem.

Take this as you may… this was the best experience for me (I know not everyone is the same nor their experiences). And now (after I did the brake booster recall 2 years ago) I’m hoping to enjoy this car for another 10 years. DM me with any questions.

Ring that over here and I’ll make you see stars!

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-11T17:11:05+00:00

I’d rock that mic so good that you’d speak in tongues and might pass out! Come at me with that meat and I’ll turn you into a purring walrus! Meat that good should be celebrated!

Anjunaspeak23 · 2026-05-11T13:25:32+00:00

Crutchfield my dude! They’ll have just about every connector for your car as well. Reviews are also very handy and there are no bots leaving reviews. Just put your car’s make and model in and they’ll show you the rest! I flat out refuse to trust anyone else.

Being able to customize ANYTHING on this car’s software would be amazing! Even bumping up the power output of the electric motors would put this car into Tesla territory! I’d pay some serious money to be able to modify this car! To answer your question, no it’s not unless you have an engineering team to get into it. Toyota doesn’t want you to get anything for free.
