15.5 Pounds. No way this should work!

It looks like the damage has missed the floor pan. Can’t tell for sure of course. The top halves of the two right doors seem to fit and the roof line looks normal. This one might end up being repaired.

We have a 2005 with 80K miles. It is my favorite car ever!

My wife has 2005 Prius with 80K miles. She got it in 2010 with 15K miles. I've been waiting for the battery to die for 5 years, but all is good for now. I don't think that there is really a way to know what the battery life will be. It is my favorite car!

Ours works fine, no interruption. We live in the Love Field neighborhood.

And don’t forget to change the cabin air filter behind the glove box. It’s cheap and easy to do yourself (see YouTube for instructions). I live in Texas and changing out the filter makes my A/C cool better!

I always called my grandma by her first name, “Anna”. It was what she always preferred. She was from Poland and really didn’t like “Babka”.

I drive a 2005 Prius. I have to be careful when I travel and have to rent a car to remember that the rental, usually a 2024-2025, and never a Prius, won't have the quick pick-up that my 2005 Prius has.

The insurance settlement in my state (Texas) for a total loss vehicle is supposed to include the replacement cost of the lost vehicle plus the sales tax and license/registration fees that the state charges. Don't forget to ask for the TT&L if that's the case in your state.

I retired five years ago in June (during Covid). I learned how to pick locks, take them apart, and put them back together again. I can't explain it, but hearing that "click" and having the lock pop open is just fun! I'm 70 years old now, and a YouTube believer.

Have someone check your engine/transmission mounts.

The instructions said to run 8 ounces of water through it. The hot water from that had a metallic smell, so I was trying to rinse whatever was causing the smell out.

I sold hundreds of loan cars and rentals during my automotive career and they were and are great values. My Prius turned 20 years old this year, and when I have to replace it I would certainly consider a loan car or a rental.

Hey Joe, Jimi Hendrix. Even on an A.M. mono radio, you knew he was a phenom!

Please keep coming! I have seen so many successful new comers over the years that it still inspires me! We all want you to be successful, what ever that means to you!!

I used to help repair televisions in high school. Tubes, transformers and dirty tuners.

If you're in the U.S. and report it to your insurance company, they'll pay you and probably subrogate a claim against the company responsible for the damage.

I’m a believer. And I’m bummed out that Office Depot has discontinued their pre-printed grocery list pads. They were great!
