Or Danica Patrick. Who is also hotter than a thousand nuclear explosions.
She is also a home wrecker and a bitch.
I don't hit the TMZ for these deets. Most women who are good looking and loaded with their own money are fairly tough to handle.

I've actually met her/worked around her quite a bit. Her and Denny Hamlin are the two big dick bags of NASCAR drivers, everyone else was cool.

I did my homework, and will be throwing the original tail lights back on, curious to see what i can sell these Euros with harness for. I'll probably pay a muffler shop to switch the exhaust back to stock :doe: , I just don't feel like climbing under the car and predict that anything with clamps is rusted solid. The Remus should fetch a decent buck or two.

CEL is emissions related. First check the code but it would probably be:

1. Spark plugs
2. Ignition coils
3. Fuel injectors

Somewhere in that realm

Come on.... 20mpgs :lolwut: Who posted the video of it doing 39mpg without battery charge?

Either way, the battery does regen doesn't it? It'll still kick in on the freeway IRL, boosting power during the times you need acceleration for passing, etc. It's not as terrible as it is painted to be...

Saying this though, I'm totally good with their basic hybrid package, and it'll get better as they are experimenting with newer battery types and are already putting it into the base Camry LE Hybrid. Seems to bring the combined from 47 to 52 mpg or something. That's pretty darn good IMO
Once the battery is dead it’s ice only why the bell would it get 39mpg :lolgasm:
It won’t allow it to go fully dead. It reaches a low threshold and then begins to operate as a hybrid. So it basically gets hybrid MPG at worst. A low of somewhere around 40 is about what I’d expect.

You do realize we're talking bout a wrangler with a video I posted above with someone doing just that... 21mpg.

Mmhmm Yea... I was basically saying once that thing runs out of juice you're running a brick with 700lbs of extra battery+motor shit through the freeways. And it runs out of juice in 20 miles. A :rage: 4 prime has 2.5x the E range and is far better... I think it was tested in the 30s on the highway sans battery.

I’d be cool with owning a Prius prime.

Dealer thinks the time-lines won't change too much, I'm ok with end of Jan, beginning of Feb but I'll probably be paying that $0.20 / km of depreciation by then, since I'm only 500km away from the 149k kms they set trade value to. I'm considering the mileage charge a small rental fee, and who knows I'll probably post the car up privately for the last two weeks of ownership and see if i can get more cash back that way. My wife and i have been trading cars, and I've been driving the Touareg for longer distances... But she does state her discontent with the arrangement, so the sooner, the better.
...wait, you're getting a Camry?

Shit, what'd I miss around here.

:hai:

Yeah i need to do up a little write up, this is my alternate to kamfy couch LS460. It's spectacular on gas, well suited for long drives to work and the rental property, and brand spanking new. The :gorf: will be missed, but I'm getting more then 50% of OTD cost back by trading it in before it crosses over the 100k mark.

I think that the Camry Hybrid is ideal for my needs and is a good look at work, especially since Toyota is my biggest custy by a long shot.

Been too busy looking around, I guess.

Did Tarspin spec the Toyota Exclusive premium bumper dent package?
I specifically asked for the dents to be preinstalled. 2022 Camry Hybrid SE Upgrade (moon roof/dimming mirror/headed wheel and some additional bs). Celestial silver metallic on some vegan dark grey/black pleather with cloth insert heated seats. I need to :scrooge: for the next few years and this move will save me a few bucks on fuel (2k/yr) and VW related repairs.

Here are the dents pictured in the color of choice:
