Usually in the am, I pull out of my driveway and have to stop at the end of my street. It seems to shake and it seems like its running the engine and then switches to just the battery but even my 5 year old has asked me why the car shakes. It has happened other times during the day when the car has sat, has anyone else felt something like this, is this normal?
Completely normal, since the engine hasn't warmed up completely yet. The fuel system "sips" gas, so when you're idling like that the car will try to use up what it's already sipped (emissions system thing).
This happens to me the first time I have to stop half a block after starting with a cold engine and a hot car. Then it goes away.
:lol: :lol: Happens to me too, but not nearly as bad as you guy (and ladies) had prepared me for, so the little "shudder" i can pretty much ignore, no biggie. p.s. Hi ya PiratePrius !! I'm ECU class of '81 !!!! (back when they had a good football team )

Hope you get to come to some games. Your Prius would love the road trip.
