A few days ago, I took my 2005 Prius to the Toyota dealer to have the inverter coolant changed, long overdue maintenance. They did their usual...
Thank you. That was my thinking, too. The big question (and the reason I came here in the first place) is just how long that battery would...
Absolutely. That's why I made sure to get a second "spare" car, and most of the time I'm lucky that I can work from home in my own business....
