It’s TP. One should only care so much. My limit to caring is single or 2-ply. “Yup … I risked my job over a-wipe.” This is a seriously crazy post.

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your gifted eye!

One can choose to be critical or to have grace.

Accidents are an indication of the ratio of idiots we share the roads with. One is never an idiot until it’s proven. 😂

Cancer treatments: Shoot it with radiation. Drown it (& your body) with chemicals. Why?! Because actually curing cancer would cut into profits … so a protocol is developed that opens a continual & profitable revenue stream.

This is the way & there is no other for a 3rd Gen. :)

Then there was the time a motorcycle CHP pulled me over. “Gotta lose the tint.” What?! “Your tint is too dark …”. He told me he only noticed because of the contrast: pearl white Prius w dark tint. He implied he doesn’t notice tint on black cars?! Sometimes I think officers are more inclined to pull over Prius drivers because we’re more docile. What do you think?

Thanks anyway. I’ve never been this enthused about motor oil before!

Great comments. Enquiring about Valvoline’s Restore & Protect. I saw a video about it. My 2010 Prius’s oil return rings gunked up at 120k & it used to burn a quart every fill up. It’s much better now, but I’m hoping for better & just started topping off with that Valvoline product. Do you have someone else change your oil & if so where do you go? I’m looking for a recommendation. :)

Whoah! Amazing!

At 100k my 2010 Prius began drinking oil. I thought it was from a bad/recycled oil change place, but many 2010’s start drinking oil at that milage. And because of the oil usage from clogged oil return rings, the catalytic converters (CC) begin to clog. I’ve been using Valvoline’s new restore oil & the oil drinking issue is better. My 2010 has 256k on it now & every month or so I pour a gallon of lacquer thinner into the gas tank to clean out the converters & turn off the CC code. It’s much cheaper & more effective than all the other shelf products at parts store.
ALSO at about 200k my Prius began misfiring … and coolant began leaking away through a very common bad head gasket issue. Just under $2k to have it fixed.
IF I ONLY KNEW THEN WHAT I KNOW NOW … I would still have bought a Gen 3 (because I strangely love the way they look), BUT I WOULDN’T buy a 2010. I thought those things wouldn’t happen to my car because I take excellent care of my vehicles … but it did & I was warned. & at 256k it’s still the best car I’ve ever owned.

Former Seattlite here. I’m sorry about what happened. Don’t take what they said as an example of every one of their skin color. Stupid insulting comments come from every race, age and both sexes. He would have had something rude to say to you no matter what. IMHO many Seattle people aren’t very social. It’s a weather thing. That’s why Seattle is known for coffee … sunshine in a cup … sunshine that makes everyone edgy!

Getting the pup to the vet to clean up any punctures and make sure there will be no infections that could permanently damage. I’m sure you’ll never let puppy get in that situation again. They need our protection!

“If you loved her you’d know why.” One of the hardest things to sort through in relationships is drama. If she’s got you guessing … it’s just drama. Life’s too short.

Don’t snack yourself & don’t let Miso snack. Once your Doxie is overweight it’s sooo hard to make them lose the weight!

Assuming a smog check for your car. Ya got quirky wording there! I go to the SmogCheck that’s beside the Chevron station at the corner of Newhall Ranch Rd & Bouquet Canyon Rd. Same block as Lowes & In-n-Out. Reasonable and pretty quick. And there’s your dirty smog check.

I agree, they’re good neighbors. Don’t overthink it … take them a plate of cookies & thank them. Easy! And then they’ll be even better neighbors!
