I have to tap into my savings to replace the #Prius's shield clips and screws after she was vandalized.

I'm trying to make a list of part numbers and figure out where everything goes.

I wish I could find reliable reference photos like these so I can check my backup #toyota hardware. (When I check Google, usually the resulting photos don't match like these do.) :drgn_flat_x_x:

Thanks to a kind stranger in a nearby town I now have a Prime-Ark Freedom blackberry. #rubus #blackberry #fruit #berries #garden #gardening #prius

All signs point towards someone trying to steal my #CatalyticConverter from my #prius the other night. Several screws are missing and the plastic shield was pulled down. Luckily I have a cat shield installed and it seems to have thwarted their attempt. Now I gotta save for another Wyze camera for that part of the property. :blobfoxtableflip:

As point of petty pride: over six years ago, when I first got the cat shield installed, shops chastised me as a "paranoid idiot". I didn't care about the insults then, because I actually understood the necessity, and they certainly don't say it now. :blobcatgooglyshrug:

So, what do you think? Can the Prius maintain its legacy as a top hybrid choice in this competitive EV market? Share your thoughts! 👇💬 #Toyota #Prius

The 2026 Prius boasts a bold, aerodynamic design that still prioritizes fuel efficiency, achieving up to 57 MPG combined. This blend of sportiness and eco-consciousness keeps it at the forefront of hybrid technology. #Toyota #Prius

I'll be at #Anthrocon this year with my best friend @NameLotsaNumbers! We're gonna be hand delivering my #Artwork for the #ArtShow #Auction!

AND GUESS WHAT?

We're super blessed this year, because we can actually stay for the event!

AND I promise I'm gonna try real hard to be social this year. :eggbug_heartsob:

If I make any sales in the auction, I hope to use the funds towards fixing my partner in crime, Limina the #Prius, so please stay tuned for previews! :pawx50_pray:

Also, a tiny reminder, you can find me at these places too!

🚀✨ Behold, the riveting saga of #booting #BeOS on a #Hitachi FLORA Prius—a task so thrilling it demands a 1999 user manual and a sprinkle of Japanese documentation. Because nothing screams cutting-edge #technology like juggling #floppy #disks and boot managers in the era of #Y2K panic. 🤖💾

I'm a Prius & man, have I had a day...
#StarWars #Andor #S2 #humor #prius

Still getting the Audi fixed, and the #prius or the #tesla for emergencies… (still not into cars, more of a tech guy)

But my main transportation will be the #super73 always wanted one of those.

Finally got a newer car. My Yaris did well for the 14 years I owned it. However, now I run around with 64MPG... at least according to the car's diagnostics. I'll have to tinker with Torque and revalidate it. #Prius #newcar #DoPeopleStillUseHashTags #OrAmIOld

Getting the promised second key for the new #Prius While at it, also asking for a couple settings changes that only the dealer can do, don't know if they charge for that.

"It will be the last one I'll do", the guy said. I asked why. "Because soon I'm going into retirement", he said. But 15 minutes later he had the repaired unit ready. He tested it. And.. I think it works even better than the old one (before it failed).

And with that, who knows how long I will still use the old clunker?

BTW this is what the dashboard looked like during repair. /2

I’m absolutely delighted that #Matchbox makes my #Prius Prime, even with the same color!

Friday my good old 2005 Toyota #Prius popped up an array of urgent warning lights during a trip with passengers. We completed our journey OK and I brought the car to the dealer for service today. It needed an inverter coolant pump (yet another pricey repair). And it was getting more rust below the passenger doors. So we ended up just buying a new 2024 AWD Prius instead. And we beat this upcoming round of tariffs.

I still like that 2005 model, but this new one should do well.

#Prius in to dealership for 170,000 mile service -- basically an oil change and some inspections. Also need to find out why the "check engine" light is on.

Feeling left out. I want to get a “I bought this before I knew #elon was a fascist” sticker for my #prius

Amphibious hybrid.
