Studs and Snow Tires! I live in New England where we have a good mix of snow, slush and ice so far this winter. Putting Studs and Snow Tires on my Pius was a...
I came to a stop in some gravel yesterday, and all of the brake-related warning lights came on (red foot brake light, brake drum w exclamation, ABS, VSC). The...
Hi Sam, recent reports on the elearnaid kits have been favorable. There is a small optima battery that will fit; its quality is supposed to justify the luxury...
don't recall anything about an optima - but Odyssey, yes - PC680, for about the same price as the elearnaid kit, and saves carrying around the weight of an...
I have driven thousands and thousands of harsh winter miles mostly in the Oregon Cascade Mountains over the last 35 years. I owned one set of studded snow...
Studs are against the law between March 1 and December 1 in Nebraska. I have non studable Blizzak WS50's. K. B. Eric Riddle 1983 GL1100i & CB1000C 2005...
I also installed the Odyssey PC680 in my '01 Prius, though I didn't have the correct brass terminals which are a nice addition. This is a motorcycle starting...

I'd suggest you consider the Panasonic battery sold by Toyota dealers as an upgrade to the original equipment GS battery. However that is a relatively...
I was working on my cd player (needed to remove it as it had a jammed cd). It was working fine sitting out and plugged in to the Y cable, but when I checked 30...

I ran across a great website a few weeks ago. They sell Hybrid cars throughout the US and the world. It's called: www.Begreenauto.com They have a bunch of...
... A few weeks ago? I would have thought that you ran across it more than a year ago. Perhaps as far back as September 29th of 2007, when you created that...
Hi Michelle, I'm glad that you have another shot at inspecting the 2010! Please ... I understand that the same three 2010 vehicles that we saw in Detroit ...
I have been measuring a voltage of 9.2V at the cigarette lighter outlet on my 03 Prius, and this is not sufficient to power any of my accessories such as a...
How much load is on the lighter when you take the measurement? Since even the 11.6 sounds low, there may be another problem; but, no way it should drop further...
First, make sure that your voltmeter is working correctly by measuring voltage across the 12V battery when the car is READY (should be ~13.8V) and after the...
I need to share my tire saga. When my '01 Prius was brand new the steering felt very touchy on grooved pavement like we have on several freeways around San...
On February 2nd I went to the special invitation event at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, DC, where the 2010 Prius was introduced. The three vehicles...
My 2001 Prius never scared me with steering tracking instability. I wouldn't have liked it, if it did. I think you must return to the scene of the alignment...

Hi Tom, I don't recall what I paid for 185/65/R14 Harmonies, probably about $80 per tire plus installation. Best price quote I found lately was $82 plus...
Sent this yesterday but it hasn't shown up yet: A coworker told me he had the same "groove dance" experience as I did when he drove a brand new set of Pirellis...
I would tell them that you were wearing them in for 2 week. This would show you that you are serious and give them a heads up. There is something good to be...
